Citizens Against Frederick Co Meadow Brook Data Centers

Please, no data centers in Frederick County

Terrible idea

Water is my concern. This area has developed to quickly and in drought situations that amount of usage could really hurt our area.

I do not want to see these data centers here in the Winchester/Frederick or Clarke County. If you want to see the aesthetic damage they do to the landscape, go down Rt50 to Chantilly and over to Herndon.

With the waste we already deal with in our county and neighboring counties; this is not an effective use of our land, and only serves to harm our environment for a very minor gain.

Not the place for this. Find an industrial park to put the data center. Keep Frederick County farmland !!

No to Data Center next to Vaucluse Springs. No to Rezoning farmland into Industrial.

Don’t NoVa Frederick County

keep the tech bros out of the orchards!

700 acres? They done bumped their head. We are an Agriculture community.

We need to stop the loss of farm land. Period

We do not need data centers in our area! This land use change is not sustainable for our region. It is a nuisance that we cannot tolerate and a tremendous waste of land, clean water and energy.

A disaster

Do not rezone leave rezoning alone

No data centers in frederick county!

No way, not in Frederick County.

Keep us rural, stop making us into northern VA. Noise and Traffic: Construction and long-term operations can bring heavy machinery, 24/7 truck traffic, and noise – disruptive to rural lifestyles. Visual Disruption: Data centers are typically large, windowless buildings with security fencing – out of place in scenic or pastoral environments. Limited Job Creation: While data centers are capital-intensive, they are not labor-intensive. Locals may expect a job boom that never fully materializes. Strain on Infrastructure: Local roads, power grids, and water systems may be insufficient to support such large facilities, requiring taxpayer-funded upgrades. Property Value Concerns: Nearby landowners may see property values drop due to industrialization and aesthetic changes. Water Usage: Data centers can consume millions of gallons of water for cooling each day. In agricultural areas, this can compete with water needed for crops, especially during droughts. Energy Demand: These facilities require large amounts of electricity, potentially leading to new transmission lines or substations that disrupt the landscape. Heat Island Effect: Data centers generate significant heat, which can raise local temperatures and alter the microclimate, affecting nearby crops or ecosystems.

no way

They use an immense amount of electricity and water The Shenandoah River will not survive this

There are better areas for this kind of infrastructure to go
