There is no need to answer that question, as we all know the answer.
Democrats on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, Ann Wheeler, Victor Angry, Kenny Boddye, Andrea Bailey, and Margaret Angela Franklin, have stuck together like glue and voted to approve the data Center takeover of Prince William County.
Prince William County is at a crossroads and the 2023 elections will decide whether we free ourselves from subservience to developer exploitation or slip permanently into the abyss.
A positive change awaits in the candidacy of Deshundra Jefferson for County Board Chair. She vows to restore transparency and integrity to a government that has been quick to abuse your trust and give away the store to big tech predators who are gorging on your slice of the pie.
Just yesterday, I received a postcard with Jacqueline Smith, Clerk of Prince William County Circuit Court, and Prince William County Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey, pictures together.
The Circuit Court promotes Bailey when the State Supreme Court says she broke the law!
In January, we reported on Virginia’s new population estimates, which showed that Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads — but especially Northern Virginia — are now losing population while some parts of rural Virginia are now gaining.
QTS inquired into developing a data center campus along Pageland Lane, outside of the county’s designated Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District, as early as the summer of 2020.

Following the Prince William Board of County Supervisors’ vote to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Digital Gateway last November, I urge the Planning Commission and Board of County Supervisors to continue moving forward with efforts to implement the transformative vision of the project.

We’ve worked hard to cover our community in the past few weeks.
With Kim Hosen’s passing, the county has lost a voice of preservation, and I have lost a friend, confidant, and damper to my temper when warranted.
Kim was a long-time Prince William County resident and 2002 founder and executive of the Prince William Conservation Alliance.
Look at the creative ways they try to exploit your inattention. Did you know that our board of county supervisors has authorized a water study of the Occoquan watershed, a Sustainability Commission Report, development of a revised noise ordinance, and considering enhanced building code standards for data centers?
The results are due back about the same time as they finish pouring cement for the millions of square feet of data centers they already rushed to approve.
