Today, Fairfax County lawmakers approved new zoning regulations that will impact data center development near residential communities. The zoning amendment, passed by an 8-2 vote, aims to concentrate data centers in industrial zones. This decision will limit the county’s potential for new commercial tax revenue. According to Chairman Jeff McKay, the new rules are designed to avoid challenges seen in nearby counties while offering greater protections for Fairfax County.
