DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Spotsylvania County Planning Commission voted 5-2 to recommend a Special Use Permit (SUP) for data centers, following a board of supervisors decision to eliminate by-right development. Developers, including KETTLER, expressed concerns about the impact on existing projects, seeking grandfathering for plans submitted before the change. The board will review this recommendation at a public hearing on February 24.
