Board of Supervisors News report
Board voted 8-0 to deny a comprehensive plan amendment that would have enabled the roughly 1,940-acre, 43 million sq ft Dulles South Innovation Center (Dulles Cloud South) data center campus; staff had recommended denial because the site is outside the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District (InsideNoVa via WTOP). This was a comprehensive plan amendment, not a rezoning.
