Potomac Church Tech Center Data Center Campus (125 Old Potomac Church Road, Stafford County)

Completed

United States · 1 project · Last reported

Summary

At the Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting of 18 August 2026, the Director of Planning and Zoning, presenting the Potomac Church Tech Center proffer amendment for tax map parcel 39-71A, told the Board that the approved site development plan shows two data center buildings and that 'the first building ... was now complete and occupied'; the Board then approved ordinance O26-25 (4-2), which lets the second building be occupied before reclaimed-water lines reach the site. This records Building 1 as complete, and occupied, on 18 August 2026, the meeting day; it is not a completion or occupancy-permit date, which the minutes do not give. Completion covers Building 1 only: the second building's construction stage is not established, and its April 2027 and July 2028 occupancy and finish dates are the applicant's forecasts. evidence

Precision scope
Planar centroid of Stafford County tax parcel 39-71A (125 Old Potomac Church Road; 49.64 geodesic acres, about 649 by 475 m), the parcel named in the proffer-amendment case and identical to the county's 'Old Potomac Church Data Center' project outline. It locates the two-building campus property, not the Building 1 footprint.
Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported

The county publishes no positional accuracy for its parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 49.6-acre, two-building property and Building 1's position within it is not documented.

Geometry evidence

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.
