At the last meeting, Supervisors Fairchild and Goad pushed for a moratorium on data center development in Fluvanna.
Despite the Board Chair's threat to remove the issue from the agenda, the Board will vote to begin the process of removing data centers as an allowed use in Fluvanna's industrial areas.

Across the Commonwealth, residents are pushing back against the massive data center buildout and asking how much their communities should be expected to sacrifice, from water and quiet to land and rural character, to accommodate enormous power demand, transmission infrastructure, and data-center-driven industrial development.
In neighboring Louisa County, homeowners are dealing with brown, contaminated well water; excessive noise; dust and debris; flooding; heavy construction traffic; and loss of property values.
Fluvanna has an opportunity to decide now whether this is the kind of development we want here.
