Data center developer’s conditional-use permit appeal denied by Chesterfield BZA

The Chesterfield Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously rejected WestDulles Properties’ appeal of a county determination requiring a conditional-use permit for its proposed data center campus. The decision means the 550-acre James River Industrial Center project must undergo public hearings and case-by-case review under Chesterfield’s new zoning ordinance, while WestDulles is considering an appeal to circuit court.

Hanover supervisors to consider raising tax rate on data center equipment

Hanover County supervisors are considering raising the special tax rate on data center equipment, potentially from $0.45 to up to $3 per $100 of assessed value. This reevaluation comes as the county sees increasing interest from data center developers, with several zoning requests filed and one large campus already approved and under construction. A public hearing and vote on the new tax rate are scheduled for June 24.
