• N. Va. political leaders scramble to meet evolving public sentiment on data centers (ffxnow.com) — A major proposal to turn the Plaza 500 site on Edsall Road in Lincolnia into two large data centers — plus a supporting Dominion Energy substation — is drawing pushback from Fairfax and Alexandria leaders worried about neighborhood impacts. Regional officials say Loudoun’s experience shows how lucrative but disruptive data centers can be, and warn that decisions made now will shape Lincolnia’s quality of life and taxes for years.
