The Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District was created for the purpose of promoting development of data centers within areas of Prince William County where existing infrastructure could adequately support the proposed use. The study will also consider changes to planning and zoning guidance and appropriate construction standards. This district continues the county's efforts to attract and advance high-tech industrial development while limiting negative impacts to communities. This study is an opportunity to engage with the county to help ensure the regulatory framework is appropriate to the growing demand and practical development considerations specific to this industry.
