PEC opposes Remington Digital Campus data center plan

The Piedmont Environmental Council is urging Fauquier County residents to oppose the Remington Digital Campus data center proposal before the July 16 Planning Commission hearing.

• The Planning Commission hearing is set for Thursday, July 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Warren Green Building, First Floor Meeting Room, 10 Hotel Street, Warrenton, Virginia; PEC is asking residents to submit written comments and speak in opposition.
• The proposal, renamed from Gigaland to Remington Digital Campus, would include six data center buildings, nearly 1 million square feet, two municipal groundwater wells, a water treatment plant, a 125-foot water tower, two electrical substations, 136 backup diesel generators, and would require 600 MW of power.
