Meeting Updates

​Great news on the Data Center issue: At the Gloucester County Planning Commission meeting on June 5th, the Planning Commission voted to NOT support the Data Center Technology Overlay District!!
We encourage anyone who can, to attend the next joint Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, July 15th @6:00 pm at the Colonial Courthouse. (The Board of Supervisors could still approve the development of a plan for the Technology Overlay District by not following the planning commission’s recommendation.)
The 200 plus attendees for the public meeting on May 28th was the most the county has ever had! 81% of the Gloucester residents that took the survey were against it, which really got their attention. We will still need to be vigilant, because it could come up again down the road. (And also keep an eye out for King & Queen, Essex, and Middlesex Counties.) The Dragon is important to all of us.
Thank you so much for everyone's comments, letters, and support on this vital issue!

King & Queen County Board of Supervisors met last night (6/10/25).  Solar facilities and /or data centers were not on the agenda and were not mentioned during the meeting.  In closing, the Chairman of the Board mentioned that they have received concerns from their constituents about solar farms and data centers.  For this reason "they are reengaging the Planning Committee to conduct more research before moving forward”.  
If you have written to the Supervisors, thank you!  Your efforts have been worthwhile.  Keep engaging them with your concerns.
