Summary

On 26 August 2026 the Stafford County Planning Commission heard RC24155981, the rezoning of tax map parcels 38-44A, 38-45, 38-45H, 38-45I, 38-45L, 38-73, 38-74A and 38-96 (about 120.88 acres west of Richmond Highway) from A-1, A-2 and B-3 to M-2 'to allow for development of a data center campus' of two two-storey buildings totalling 590,000 square feet, with an on-site electric substation under CUP25156540; the applicant, Falmouth Tech LLC, anticipated a 122 MW power demand. The Commission voted 4-3 to recommend approval of the rezoning, the comprehensive-plan compliance review and the CUP. This records a proposed development identified by a dated county record; the recommendation is not a rezoning decision, site-plan approval or building permit, and the Board's 7 October 2026 hearing outcome is not yet published. The 122 MW figure is requested utility service, not IT load. evidence

The county's Data Center Projects layer, published by Stafford County GIS for its data-center development map, lists sixteen projects with a status field. 'Old Potomac Church Data Center' is 'Under Construction' and its outline is identical to parcel 39-71A; 'Accokeek Center' is 'Approved' and its 80.6-acre outline lies wholly within the eight Accokeek parcels. Nearby entries include Stafford Technology Campus (Under Construction), Austin Ridge Logistics Center and GWV Data Centers (In Review); none of them is in the Atlas. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 38.40226, -77.42774
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_union_centroid
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_parcel_union_centroid
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Planar centroid of the union of the eight Stafford County tax parcels named in RC24155981 and CUP25156540 (two parts, 119.87 geodesic acres against the application's 120.88 acres, about 950 by 1192 m). It locates the application property; the planned building and substation positions within it are not documented.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The county publishes no positional accuracy for its parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 120-acre, two-part application property, not building footprints.
Geometry evidence: f6a222bf

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
