I’m writing this petition out of deep concern for our community in Broadlands, Virginia.

Massive, nearly 1-million-square-foot industrial data center is threatening our neighborhood near Broadlands Boulevard & Belmont Ridge Road.

Because of outdated zoning ordinances, CyrusOne secured administrative, by-right approvals without any opportunity for public  hearing. Leaving the residents in the dark. Treating a facility of this magnitude as an ordinary commercial building is far from reality. This is heavy industrial infrastructure, not a regular office.

Ask yourself: Do you really want nearly one-million-square-foot industrial data centers in the middle of our residential community, near our homes and schools?

The long-term environmental and neighborhood impacts cannot be ignored. Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity and water, placing heavy demands on our local resources. They bring high-voltage power lines, massive backup generators, constant mechanical noise, and air pollution. It will fundamentally degrade our quality of life, impact negatively our property values, and alter the character of Broadlands forever.

The project has not moved forward yet, in part because of its enormous electrical infrastructure, high-voltage power demands.

This  gives us a critical opportunity to act now!

Residents should have rights too. Residents did not ask for a data center—not then or now, and don't let the Board of Supervisors (BOS) tell you otherwise!

We have an opportunity to make our voices heard before it’s too late . We need to protect the character and integrity of this beautiful neighborhood in Broadlands.

Please sign this petition and join us in doing everything possible to STOP this data center. 

Our local Board of Supervisors have failed to adequately protect our residential community back then but maybe this time they will protect our rights. We need to make our voices heard at the local and state level. Tell them:

“Please stop the CyrusOne data center in Broadlands, Virginia. Protect our rights! Residents have a right to protect their homes, families, and neighborhoods from the encroachment of heavy industrial development. A massive data center of this scale does not belong next to a residential community.”
