BREAKING Remington town officials voice support for new data centers in Fauquier County Multiple data center projects are slated for the Remington area By Tate Hewitt Staff Writer Jun 13, 2025 L. Pelcome 9o Remington, ga Sneronatel. frck 190 The Town of Remington is nestled in southern Fauquier County. Staff photo by Florence Shen Remington officials are voicing support for proposed data centers just outside the town limits and are hoping the county will share some of the tax revenue generated by the developments. Though no proposed data center projects fall within Remington town limits, town council officials are arguing this type of development "offers significant economic benefit and aligns with smart growth (principles) for both town and county residents," 39 Remington town administrator Racheal Brinson wrote in a June 9 letter to the Fauquier County supervisors and planning commissioners. Download PDF * 7 Town of Remington 105 East Main Street Remington, VA 22734 June 9, 2025 Members of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission, On behalf of the Remington Town Council, - am presenting a written expression of support for the proposed data center sites within the Lee District. While the Town of Remington has no available property within its own boundary, the Council believes this type of development offers significant economic benefit and aligns with smart growth principles for both Town and County Residents. The presence of data center sites in Fauquier County, specifically the Remington Water Service District, would bring about a welcomed tax base and utility revenue for developing essential safety and public works projects that otherwise the Town of Remington has no current or future financial base to rely upon. Additionally, the Council proposes a provisional revenue agreement between Fauquier County and the Town of Remington to offset current and future Remington Water District operations. While the Council values affordable residential. development, we encourage the Board of Supervisors to weigh the low impact to existing roads, schools, police and emergency services associated with data center sites and adopt an alternative economic approach to residential property taxes. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this proposal and look forward to working collaboratively to ensure a future that benefits all residents of Fauquier County. Sincerely, Tacupbunoo Town of Remington, Town Administrator Rachael Brinson The letter comes a week before the Fauquier County Planning Commission begins reviewing the proposal for "Gigaland" = a seven-building project slated for 200 acres south ofl Lucky Hill Road just outside Remington. "We encourage the Board of Supervisors to weigh the low impact to existing roads, schools, police and emergency services associated with data center sites and adopt an alternative economic approach to residential property taxes," Brinson wrote on behalf of the Remington Town Council. PREVIOUSLY: Remington residents prefer data centers over houses The letter doesn't just serve as a voice of support, but also proposes a revenue agreement with the county, in the hope that the town will share the lucrative tax proceeds from data centers built in the service district. "The presence of data centers would bring a welcome tax base and utility revenue for developing essential safety and public works projects that otherwise the Town of Remington has no current or future financial base to rely upon, " Brinson wrote. The council agreed to send the letter to the county board during its June 9 meeting. Days later, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors heard from a citizenry occupied and divided by data centers during its own June meeting. Residents filled Warrenton Town Hall on June 12 raising concerns about dangerous traffic accidents involving dump trucks carrying excavated soil from data center construction sites and a new data center project proposed on generational farmland owned by Daron Culbertson, the supervisor representing the Lee District, which includes Remington, and three other proposed data center campuses. But mostly they spoke about the Gigaland project, which will be reviewed by the county Planning Commission on Wednesday, June 18. TTILL ITTT Gigaland proposes 7 data centers in southern Fauquier County Six citizens spoke in favor of the development. "I believe the Gigaland development represents a responsible and forward-thinking development for Fauquier, said Ron Lattomus, of Remington. He criticized the influence of environmental groups like Protect Fauquier, Citizens for Fauquier County and Piedmont Environmental Center. "While these outside environmental groups have a right to be heard, their input should not have the same weight as the opinions of us who will live close to Gigaland, - he said. Ten citizens spoke against the project or against data centers more broadly. "T've lived here for 28 years.. eight of those years I worked on a dairy farm. The diary has since closed, but the farm is now used as cropland, which is great - the good lord is not making more farmland," > said Justin Earhart, of the Cedar Run District. "I ask the board to say no to Gigaland, say no to any more data centers, especially the ones proposed on our agricultural lands. Keep them in the service districts," Earhart added. The Fauquier County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the special exceptions, waivers and rezoning needed to approve the Gigaland data center campus at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18 at the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel Street in Warrenton.
