Community Meeting with Planning Office: Data Center Overlay Comp Plan Review

The Planning Office will be hosting an in-person community meeting on the Data Center Overlay Comprehensive Review (learn more about this review, which seeks to gather the latest information to help guide future decisions around data centers) at 6:00 pm on Thursday, March 3, 2022, at the Gainesville High School Auditorium. This meeting is intended to replace the in-person portion of the public engagement meeting that was canceled on January 20, 2022, due to forecasted inclement weather. This meeting is structured as an open house with the project team and other agencies followed by public comment time to start at 6:30 pm. This will be an opportunity for the public to provide in-person comment prior to the development of a draft overlay map. There will be no formal staff presentation at this event.

Public Comment – To allow the maximum number of speakers in the time allotted, speakers are encouraged to limit comments to 2 minutes per speaker. Pre-registration to speak in person is not required. Virtual public comment will not be available at this event.

Live Streaming – Public comment will be live streamed and recorded. A link to watch the event will be posted on the project page.

COVID-19 Protocols – This event is being held at a Prince William County Public School where masks are required for all visitors.
