What they have said
"The expansion of data centers across Loudoun County should have been done vastly differently. We are putting clear standards in place and ensuring that what has been permitted in years past is not permitted into the future."
"Some communities may have too many, but some would like the opportunity to have one of these data centers that pay a lot of local taxes."
It is past time for data centers to pay their fair share.6
Virginians deserve to know who is building data centers in their communities, how much energy and water these facilities consume, and whether the costs are being shifted onto them through higher utility bills,7

Questions
How many jobs does a data center create?
It varies a lot by site and construction crews are much larger than the permanent staff that runs a site. We only show figures linked to a primary public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Source
What trades build data centers?
Electricians do the largest share of the work, followed by pipefitters and HVAC mechanics for cooling, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and low voltage and controls technicians. Running sites hire data center technicians, facilities staff and security. Source
How do I find a data center job near me?
Use the Find jobs here links on this page. They go straight to each company's own careers site, the local union hall and the U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship finder. We link out and do not host listings. Source
