No to data centers in this rural Shenandoah Valley. The pollution from back up generators they use no one is talking about either.

No more data centers!!! You are ruining the beauty of this area, causing strain on the resources, and costing the average person more $ per year to support billionaires. NO, NO and NO!

Not only are they disgusting to look at they will take from each of us. Utilities and our home values will all take a hit from these monstrosities. I do not understand how we have allowed this many already. I have definitely had enough.

I don't want data centers here. They are ugly use up valuable farm land that we need to use for food for humans and animals. Data centers certainly don't do that! They also use electricity and water that are very valuable here for people. We don't have enough of either to use for them or that means more solar fields of which we have as neighbors already!

Our Electric bills are overwhelming in recent history. Announcing brown outs during bad weather seems they are to benefit data centers continuous operations over people that have souls by artificial entities which are not.

Data Centers are harmful to our county in so many ways that it's hard to believe they are being considered. People do NOT support having them and our will needs to be given valid weight. We are the tax payers, the voters, and the citizens of this beautiful land. We DO NOT want it marred with what will amount to industrial waste in a few short years.

The Shenandoah Valley, and Frederick County – Winchester City, is a beautiful region with unique history, scenery, culture, and possibilities. This area is undergoing rapid development, largely unchecked by the elected officials on our boards of supervisors and our planning commissions. Not only are most our counties’ budgets overstretched to provide services to new residents, but now we are being told—not asked—to give up the beauty and tranquility of the Shenandoah Valley to data centers, industrial parks, and rank developments to generate spurious levels of tax revenue to pay for the said new development; Completely backwards logic. We, the citizens of the Valley, were never asked whether we wanted swathes of farmland, orchards, vineyards, pastures, and forests developed and destroyed in perpetuity. We can see the examples that defensive counties like Fauquier, Rappahannock, and more are trying to set: preserving natural and historic spaces by allowing absolute minimal development and banishing special corporate interests set on profiting from our destruction. We must halt development, reduce our spending, preserve our natural and cultural spaces, and ensure that this beautiful valley is preserved for generations to come and does not fall prey to vulture interests as has happened to eastern Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William Counties, among others in this commonwealth.

Once elected, why do people start working against the same people that elected them? NO DATA CENTERS!

We are selling the future of our lives and our children's lives for pennies, while corporations make billions.

No to Data Centers and slow down residential growth until we get our roads and schools updated to handle the influx.

We, the residents of Frederick County, will end up with increased costs of living if data centers come to our area.
