[UPDATE] Loudoun supervisors table bid to strip grandfathered approvals from 15 data center projects
On Oct 6, Loudoun County supervisors tabled, without a vote, a proposal to revoke legacy approvals for 15 data center projects (about 10.5M SF), along with a companion audit motion. This came after county counsel warned of roughly $60M in potential litigation exposure. Bisnow identifies Digital Realty's Digital Dulles Phase 3 as the largest affected project. The measure was tabled, not defeated, and Bisnow reports a separate resolution to pause new data center applications for up to 12 months is still being prepared, so the local-opposition theme is unresolved.
