The Stafford County Board of Supervisors is split on how much information it needs to decide where to approve data centers.
During its meeting on Tuesday, June 27, Supervisors voted 5-2 to send back a list of recommendations on where to allow data centers back to its planning commission for further study. In March 2023, the supervisor asked the planning commission to make a list of recommendations for a new chapter of the county's comprehensive development plan focusing on data centers, similar to a new chapter focused on solar farms.
