NO to massive Data Centers!!
 

There is no net benefit to destroying the rural landscape and upending the current communities for the construction of giant data centers. 
The infrastructure is not there, and will need to be paid for by the current taxpayers living here. The tax revenue generated directly or indirectly by the data centers will be minimal. Giant corporations get huge tax breaks, and the only added revenue will come from new PWC residents who move here for data center jobs. It is not worth the destruction of Prince William County. There is already plenty of tax revenue within the county. If money is an issue, we should look at wasteful spending before peddling an outrageous plan such as turning every square inch of usable land into a data center.
