Halifax County Board to Weigh $250M Data Center Permit Near Residential Zoning

The Halifax County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider a Conditional Use Permit and Siting Agreement tied to a proposed $250 million data center project at its Nov. 17 meeting, according to the published agenda.

The agenda matter concerns land located near properties currently zoned R-1 Residential. According to the agenda text, staff consideration notes state that “the surrounding properties are zoned R-1 Residential” and that “the proximity of the proposed facilit[y]” is a factor under review. The agenda language also references conditions to be established “through Best Management Practices and applicable conditions established through the Conditional Use Permit and Siting Agreement between the County and the Applicant.”

This matters to residents because the agenda item directly addresses the relationship between a large-scale commercial data center proposal and adjacent residential-zoned land, a factor the agenda identifies as part of staff’s review process.

  • Location: Halifax County, Virginia
  • Project value cited in agenda materials: $250 million
