The Politics Hour: Chairman Jeff McKay on Fairfax County’s data center debate
Manage episode 432159283 series 1337616
Like its neighbors, Fairfax County is now looking for ways to regulate the proliferation of data centers. Concerns about noise and energy use are creating debate in the community. The Board of Supervisors had to delay a vote on a zoning amendment this week because they hadn’t followed public notice requirements, but the board will take it up again next month. Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay joins the show to explain what the county is trying to do and how data centers can help with much-needed tax revenue. Plus, will county residents be able to stomach a meal tax?
Prince George’s County residents are heading to the polls next week to vote in a special primary election for a new at-large councilmember. The Washington Informer’s Richard Elliott breaks down what’s at stake, who’s on the ballot, and what to watch for in the upcoming election to replace the departed Mel Franklin.
