Spotsylvania Supervisors Reconsider Data Center Setbacks
At least two supervisors now say that 1,000-foot setbacks for the industry are too strict.
On October 15, 2025, the Spotsylvania County Board of Supervisors discussed design standards for data centers, particularly the required setbacks from residential property lines, schools, churches, hospitals, daycares, and parks.
The board had previously voted 7-0 in August to suggest 1,000-foot setbacks from those locations, but some supervisors are now experiencing "buyer's remorse."
