Loudoun County has received inquiries from residents who are concerned about the number of data centers that have been approved for construction in the county and potential future projects currently in the planning process. The county is publishing this message to ensure interested residents are correctly informed about the county’s role in data center development.
There are a number of reasons a data center may be constructed in Loudoun County in the near future in accordance with state and local laws.
Some data centers are permitted by right. “By right” development refers to a use that is allowed within specific zoning districts under current county ordinances. There are parcels of land within specific zoning districts in Loudoun County in which data centers are permitted by right. Applications for by-right development are not reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Board. They are reviewed by staff for conformance with applicable ordinance requirements. The county is required to approve any application for development of a by-right data center, as long as the application satisfies all applicable ordinance requirements.
Some data centers are permitted as a result of a prior legislative approval by the Board of Supervisors. For example, a property owner may have received approval of an application:
- To rezone property to a zoning district that allows data center development by-right;
- To rezone property with specific proffers and a concept development plan allowing data center development; and/or
- For a special exception to develop a data center at a certain density.
The property owners are permitted to develop their property in accordance with the legislative approval. Depending on the nature and specificity of the prior legislative approval, these property owners may have “vested rights” under state law that would protect them from future zoning ordinance amendments. The Board of Supervisors does not have the legal authority to interfere with a property owner’s vested rights resulting from prior approvals.
Some residents have suggested that the Board of Supervisors consider a moratorium on all new data center construction. The Board of Supervisors does not have the legal authority to implement a moratorium on new data center applications. Virginia law requires the Board of Supervisors to consider each rezoning or special exception application on its merits. A blanket prohibition against approval of any application for data center development—that is, a “moratorium”—without considering each application on its individual merits, is not legally permissible.
The Board of Supervisors is focused on addressing the concerns about data centers that have been raised by Loudoun County residents. Following the adoption of a new Zoning Ordinance (PDF) in December 2023, the county has initiated a project to consider future amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance that specifically address the use of land for data center development.

In accordance with Loudoun County collective bargaining ordinance (CBO), Chapter 259 Labor Relations, elections to designate SEIU Virginia 512 as the exclusive collective bargaining representative for eligible employees within the county’s Labor and Trades and General Government bargaining units were completed on March 6, 2024. One bargaining unit voted for SEIU to be its exclusive collective bargaining representative while one bargaining unit voted against designating SEIU as its exclusive bargaining representative.
The election was administered by the county’s neutral Labor Relations Administrator (LRA) through an election vendor, BallotPoint, which mailed 160 ballots to the homes of eligible employees who are within the county’s Labor and Trades bargaining unit and 1,766 ballots to the homes of eligible employees who are within the General Government bargaining unit. A total of 52 ballots for the Labor and Trades bargaining unit and 496 ballots for the General Government bargaining unit were returned by the March 6 deadline. A simple majority vote of the ballots returned by the deadline for each bargaining unit determined the outcome of the elections. Within the Labor and Trades bargaining unit, which includes positions associated with maintenance and skilled crafts, 30 employees, or 57.7% of the vote, were opposed to SEIU representation. Within the General Government bargaining unit, 386 employees, or 77.8 percent of the votes in election, were in support of SEIU representation.
The election results will be certified by the LRA by March 14, 2024, after a five-day waiting period. After that date, Loudoun County or SEIU Virginia 512 may submit a written request to bargain to the LRA. Within ten business days from the receipt of the request, the parties are required to agree upon and schedule dates and times to meet and commence bargaining. In accordance with the CBO, SEIU may represent eligible employees during negotiations on subject such as wages, benefits and working conditions.
Under the CBO, another election for the Labor and Trades bargaining unit cannot be held for a period of 12 months.
A third bargaining unit, Fire and Rescue, which is comprised of uniformed and eligible civilian Loudoun County Fire and Rescue employees, is represented by International Association of Firefighters Local 3756, following an election in 2022.

Loudoun County has installed new electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations for public use at three county facilities:
- Bluemont Community Center, 33846 Snickersville Turnpike
- Middleburg Library, 101 Reed St., Middleburg
- Sterling Community Center, 120 Enterprise St., Sterling
These stations will allow simultaneous charging of two vehicles at the Bluemont Community Center, two vehicles at the Middleburg Library and three vehicles at the Sterling Community Center.
Users of the EV charging stations will be charged $2.10 per session. A session begins when the vehicle is plugged into the EV charging station and ends when the plug is removed or the charging process is complete. Payment can only be made at the charging station through a mobile app, which is connected to a credit or debit card.
These are the first county-owned EV charging stations not located at a facility used by commuters. Additional publicly available charging stations and new locations are scheduled to come online over the next year. The county also offers EV charging stations at the Harmony Park and Ride lot and the county’s two Metrorail parking garages.
A map of the locations of the county’s EV charging stations and information about plans to continue to increase the number of county-operated charging stations can be found in the Environment & Energy section of the Loudoun GeoHub.

On Wednesday, February 21, 2024, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced the recipients of the 2023 Governor’s Fire Service Awards during the annual Virginia Fire Chiefs Association Expo and Symposium in Virginia Beach. During the ceremony, the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Fire Marshal’s Office was awarded the 2023 Excellence in Virginia Fire Services Award for their efforts during an incendiary fire investigation stemming from an incident that occurred in 2017. The Governor’s Fire Service Awards, established in 2002, honor excellence in Virginia’s Fire Service and are facilitated by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs, in partnership with the Virginia Fire Services Board.
In November of 2017, occupants of a single-family dwelling in the 17000 block of Tedler Circle in Round Hill dialed 9-1-1, reporting an odor of gasoline. Loudoun County Fire and Rescue (LCFR) units arrived on scene and found remains of a fire and immediately requested the LCFR Fire Marshal’s Office to respond and investigate. During the course of the investigation, Fire Marshal investigators determined the fire was intentionally set and collected evidence from the scene. The evidence was submitted for examination by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Forensic Science. At the time of evidence submission, no matching DNA was on file.
On September 16, 2022, investigators were notified by the Virginia Department of Forensic Science that DNA collected from the evidence matched Darrell Seagraves. After obtaining a search warrant, a DNA sample was collected from Mr. Seagraves and re-tested. Forensic evidence, coupled with extensive investigative efforts, confirmed Mr. Seagraves alleged involvement in setting the 2017 fire. Darrell Seagraves was indicted on January 9, 2023, by a Loudoun County Circuit Court Grand Jury for one felony count of burning or destroying an occupied dwelling. On October 19, 2023, Mr. Seagraves plead guilty and was sentenced for his role in the 2017 fire. Judge Sincavage imposed a sentence of five years in prison with four suspended on one felony count of burning or destroying an occupied dwelling (§ 18.2-77).
“I am extremely proud of our Fire Marshal’s Office for their work to bring this case to closure,” said System Chief Keith Johnson. “Thank you to the many agencies who assisted our Fire Marshal’s Office during this investigation, not only to identify the suspect, but for providing the necessary resources to assist in bringing this case to resolution.”

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) announced completion of the first high school drug scan on March 8th, by an LCSO canine team and School Resource Officer (SRO) in collaboration with the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS). The scan of Broad Run High School in Ashburn was completed without a positive alert. Consistent with the protocols announced by LCPS on February 26, 2024, there was no direct interaction with students, who remained in their classes on a “hold”. The scan was completed in approximately 60 minutes.
“Stopping juvenile overdoses and keeping fentanyl and other dangerous drugs out of our schools is a top priority,” said Sheriff Mike Chapman. “Canine scans should be a deterrent to anyone thinking of bringing these drugs to school and will add to our collective efforts to protect Loudoun’s students and their families,” he added.
Random scans of all LCPS high schools will be conducted this spring based on a confidential schedule agreed to by LCSO, the Leesburg Police Department, and LCPS. The LCSO is responsible for canine scans in 16 of those schools, and the LPD for scans in the three high schools in the Town of Leesburg.

Original news release below.
Loudoun County child providers and families with young children are encouraged to participate in a survey and/or focus groups intended to help better inform the county’s efforts to support the child care needs of the community. The survey and focus groups are part of the county’s Child Care Needs Assessment, which is exploring issues related to affordable, high-quality child care in Loudoun County.
Child Care Needs Assessment Survey
The Child Care Needs Assessment Survey, which will be open through March 14, 2024, is designed to find out:
- The biggest challenges for families in identifying, accessing and paying for child care services in Loudoun County.
- The biggest challenges child care providers face in supplying affordable, high-quality services for children from birth to five years old, including gaps in local coordination and services among early care and education providers.
Focus Groups
Loudoun child care providers and families with children five years old and younger may also choose to participate in focus groups scheduled for March. There will be in-person and virtual options. Details about the focus groups, including exact dates and times, as well as links to sign-up forms will be posted at loudoun.gov/childcareneeds.
Child Care Needs Assessment
The Board of Supervisors approved using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to conduct the Child Care Needs Assessment as part of the county’s effort to address the impacts of the economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic that residents continue to face. Access to high-quality, affordable child care is a key factor in creating a community of healthy children and families. The Board of Supervisors also approved ARPA funds for future programs which address barriers identified in this needs assessment.
Prior to the needs assessment results, the Board allocated $1,000,000 in ARPA funding to the nonprofit Northern Virginia Family Service to help create a child care supplementary reimbursement program to support families who are experiencing hardship as an ongoing result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More information about the Child Care Needs Assessment, including links to the survey, may be found at loudoun.gov/childcareneeds.

Multiple Loudoun County organizations have partnered to launch Scrape for the Grape: Keep Loudoun’s Vineyards Spotted-less- a community-wide campaign aimed at protecting Loudoun's vineyards and other crops from the invasive Spotted Lanternfly.
Visit Loudoun, in collaboration with the Loudoun Invasive Remove Alliance (LIRA), Loudoun County, Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Loudoun Wineries & Winegrowers Association is inviting residents to join a low-impact Day of Action on April 6 to find and scrape Spotted Lanternfly egg masses. Credit card-sized scrapers and bandanas will be supplied and all volunteers will be taught to identify not only the egg masses but also the Tree of Heaven, the invasive tree that draws the Spotted Lanternfly to the area, for later removal.
“This is the 40th anniversary of the Loudoun wine industry and our vineyards are not only a source of economic vitality but also a cherished aspect of Loudoun's identity,” Visit Loudoun President & CEO Beth Erickson said. “By joining forces, residents can play a pivotal role in safeguarding our agricultural legacy."
The Spotted Lanternfly poses a significant threat to Loudoun’s rural economy, particularly grapevines, fruit trees and ornamental trees. Loudoun—DC’s Wine Country®— leads the state with more than 850 acres under vine producing 2,300 tons of grapes annually. The destination is a celebrated wine region with more than 50 wineries producing 25-plus varieties of grapes.
“So few residents understand the negative economic, health, safety and environmental risks that invasives pose to Loudoun County,” said Mike Littman, leader of LIRA, which is an alliance of 36 Loudoun HOAs representing nearly 200,000 residents with the purpose of reversing the proliferation of invasive plants in the county. “Scrape for the Grape is a powerful awareness campaign that brings eastern and western Loudoun together to help our wineries and orchards against this threat.”
During the event, which runs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., volunteers will be deployed to locations identified by Virginia Cooperative Extension to scrape the egg masses, each of which can include 30-50 eggs. Destroying the masses reduces the number of individual adults that will have the ability to reproduce and damage grapevines and fruit trees.
“Another key action is to identify the Tree of Heaven, first favorite key host, followed by grapes. Spotted Lanternfly feeding from Tree of Heaven’s sap makes it unpalatable to predators, so no natural enemies will feed on it,” said Beth Sastre, commercial horticulturist with Virginia Cooperative Extension Loudoun.
As an appreciation, a variety of Loudoun wineries will be offering special discounts to anyone who brings in their bandana or scraping card. For more information and to register visit: Loudouninvasives.com.
