The exemption has led to problems for residents living close to data centers. In Great Oak residents have complained for months about a buzz from four Amazon Web Service data centers Amazon is said to be working on muffling the air-conditioning units but hasn’t solved the noise yet Some homes are as close as 600 feet to the centers many Bristow residents expressed skepticism that the county could regulate noise through its zoning ordinance Many also complained about living next to concrete buildings that could be as tall as 95 feet interspersed with at least three electrical substations at 100 feet between the data centers and homes He had urged Young to delay the vote to give residents more time to learn about the project “We still don’t have all the answers and [you’re] ready to go full bore and ruin people’s lives Their investment in their homes and their quality of life?” Hancock said to Young would you buy my house when this data center is built an area surrounding Amberleigh Station and Silver Leaf Estates Those 196 acres are next to another 262 acres included in the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District The entire area has long been known as the “Hunter property.” In 2012 the plan was for it to become a residential development of 1,600 homes known as “Stone Haven.” But residents opposed adding homes while schools in western part of the county were overcrowded The addition of Gainesville High and Chris Yung Elementary Young said Stanley Martin made the change in an effort to avoid building even more homes near data centers “There are numerous cases [around the county] … where this is going to be a problem,” Young said it felt like it was a reasonable time to set some parameters so that [data centers] would not impact the residents around them.” Young said there are “actually seven schools” that abut the overlay district that county officials are going to have to “figure out how to deal with.” Problem solved!” shouted one man from the audience “The bottom line is that you are asking all of us to trust you that all of this is going to be OK,” said Bethany Kelley “You’re a little tone deaf to us because we don’t want it.” “It’s not appropriate to surround a community with data centers How can you possibly make that OK?” added Marilyn Karp a Haymarket resident who has been active in the fight against the Prince William Digital Gateway She filmed the meeting via Facebook live for residents who couldn’t attend Young was clear about Stanley Martin’s intentions “We are not interested in deferring the case,” he said adding: “There is no plan to build houses here There is only one plan: to build data centers.”  residents opposed to Devlin Technology Park have launched a Facebook page “Say No To Devlin Tech Park,” and are planning a protest at the county’s James J McCoart Administration Building ahead of the board’s Feb They are also leaving negative reviews on Stanley Martin’s website and are planning a lawsuit president of the Amberleigh Station homeowners’ association Pleickhardt said the communities are also considering a lawsuit to fight the data centers being planned on the former Hunter Trust property that was rezoned in 2021 bought about 180 acres from the Hunter Trust in 2021 for just under $48.5 million and is submitting site plans for data centers “It’s incompatible to have industrial development next to residential homes You are going to have jackhammering 100 feet from our homes Are you kidding me?” Pleickhardt said in a Jan “It’s rage and desperation,” he said of the community’s response We’ve lost hope in our county supervisors to protect us.”  responded to emailed requests for comments from the Prince William Times this week Lawson is planning a town hall meeting for residents about the Devlin Technology Park on Thursday the footprint of the development would need to be “much smaller,” Lawson said in a Tuesday She said she would prefer shorter buildings and much larger buffers like those surrounding an older data center owned by Porpoise Ventures at 8217 Linton Hall Road near Holy Trinity Catholic Church Lawson said she planned to appeal to her fellow supervisors to deny the rezoning application after the town hall meeting I don’t see this project ever winning my support because I don’t see this project meeting my expectations or those of my constituents,” she said CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated the amount an LLC associated with Chuck Kuhn paid for about 180 acres of what was formerly known as the "Hunter property."

members of the American Originals — an adult fife and drum corps — have volunteered their time training the next generation of fifers and drummers “We are so proud of what these kids have accomplished,” said Graves because they enjoy perfecting what they’re doing.” Students from kindergarten to eighth grade can choose to be a fifer They have online video conference lessons to improve technique as well as in-person rehearsals All the music and moves have to be memorized I saw the fifers and drummers play and I thought has been part of the corps since kindergarten “I learned how to be more patient with little kids how to read music better and how to memorize different songs,” he said Among the many things the experience of being in the corps gives the students Graves hopes it also instills them with a love for their country “We want them to realize the privilege it is to be able to play the music of our country and to celebrate the values that we have as Americans,” she

areas since 1896 Cloud company continues to expand its footprint in Northern Virginia AWS is looking to develop a 900,000 sq ft (83,600 sqm) data center campus in Bristow First reported by Inside NoVa, the company – through its Amazon Data Services unit – has filed to rezone 59.6 acres on Nokesville Road in Bristow The company is hoping to rezone the land from A-1 for the purpose of developing a data center campus There is also a concurrent special use permit request to allow for data center uses up to 110 feet in height and electric substations outside of the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District known simply as ‘Bristow Campus’ would see two three-story data center buildings constructed – each spanning a total of 450,000 sq ft (41,800 sqm) – along with a substation The greenfield site is located north of Nokesville Road and east of Linton Hall Road but outside the County’s dedicated data center overlay district The request covers six parcels – 11479 and 11540 Nokesville Road – owned by CBG Land LLC; Mu-Del Properties LLC; VRN Broad Run Overlook LLC; Furman Land LLC; Route 28 Bristow LLC; LCS Land LLC; Pinnacle Real Estate Group LLC; and Carr Land LLC The company argues that while the land is outside the data center overlay district the land to the northeast is within the zone and so should be allowed given their similar characteristics “The Property is ideally positioned for data center development given its context and its surrounding land uses There is no meaningful difference between the properties to the northeast and the property in terms of data center development potential or access to infrastructure,” AWS said in its filing This is the second large-scale development being proposed in Bristow.

Bristow campus to Stack data centers late last year The land is slated for three data center buildings that will be part of a eight-building complex a Christian nonprofit that provides housing a private school and counseling services for at-risk kids and teens is located along Linton Hall Road in Bristow A map of the Stack data center complex planned for the former Youth For Tomorrow property Three data center buildings are planned on land that used to be part of the Youth For Tomorrow campus Five buildings are planned on an adjacent property The lure of data center money seems irresistible in Prince William County a residential builder with plans for more than 500 new homes in Bristow and even people with homes and farms have sold their properties to data center companies paying $1 million an acre or more Now, a well-known local nonprofit has joined the club.  Youth For Tomorrow, which provides services to at-risk children and teens at its campus in Bristow, sold 70 acres — nearly half of its land — to Stack Infrastructure in November for $81.3 million would allow the worldwide data center builder to add three more buildings to a seven-building complex underway on Hornbaker Road just north of Va the proceeds “will create a solid future” for the nonprofit as it continues to serve troubled children and teens Youth For Tomorrow officials did not respond to several phone and email requests for interviews nor did Stack respond to a question about when the data centers would be built not all the initial seven data centers planned for its Hornbaker property are under construction yet Stack has four more data center campuses either built or in development and Canadian locations as well as in Europe and Asia The idea of putting data centers on the rear of the Youth For Tomorrow campus has been floated for years the nonprofit applied to rezone its 180 acres from agricultural and residential to a planned business park was to allow it to expand its school and residential facilities and “to allow them to use the rear portion of the property for data centers to generate income for the YFT operations.” The rezoning was approved by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors that year Youth For Tomorrow was founded in 1983 by Joe Gibbs who at the time was coach of the then-Washington Redskins Gibbs purchased 134 acres for the campus in 1984 according to a timeline on the nonprofit’s website Youth For Tomorrow opened its doors in 1986 as a home for four boys and since then has expanded significantly with a school and 13 houses for its resident children the campus hosted 125 boys and girls as residents and its school served 89 students in grades seven to 12 The organization also runs programs for youths battling substance use disorders girls who have been trafficked and pregnant teens It provides therapy and counseling for kids and teens at seven Northern Virginia locations Youth For Tomorrow contracted with the U.S Department of Health and Human Services to begin providing shelter medical and reunification services for unaccompanied minors who had crossed the southern border hoping to join their relatives or other sponsors in the U.S. according to the nonprofit’s annual reports According to a 2016 audit by the Health and Human Services Inspector General in 2015 Youth For Tomorrow received $9.2 million “one of the highest funding amounts in the region,” from the federal government for the care and placement of 266 children that year the nonprofit’s program for unaccompanied migrant children had nearly tripled according to an IRS report it filed in 2022 the organization received $22.6 million in 2021 from government grants (It is not clear how much of that came from Health and Human Services.)  Other revenue from private and public service fees foster care fees and charitable contributions boosted its 2021 annual budget to more than $38 million More than half of that was spent on personnel in 2021 Youth For Tomorrow paid its officers and key employees more than $3.5 million which included nearly $1.3 million for Gary Jones undersecretary of education during the Reagan administration and has worked with the nonprofit since 1988 according to Youth For Tomorrow’s IRS report Exactly how the $81 million will be put to use is not clear “We look forward to having Stack as our neighbor,” Jones wrote in a press release adding that the sale “will create a solid future at YFT as we continue our longstanding commitment to children and families in crisis.” Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com The new

old chapel will be used in the new St The Benedictine Sisters of Virginia have moved into their long-awaited new monastery — a bright fresh and welcoming space with curving walls and wide windows that look out on 80 acres of God’s creation The new 40,000-square-foot monastery has been in the works for several years; the sisters were finally able to move in in late October after construction delays during the height of the pandemic The new building is adjacent to the old monastery and Linton Hall School on land in Bristow that the sisters have occupied for more than 125 years chapel and workspaces all under one roof and on one level the sprawling new complex has ample room for prayer and monastic life; it’s also safer and more accessible It includes a large multipurpose room and offices for the Benedictine Pastoral Center and other ministries the sisters offer the wider community “God has blessed us for sure,” said Sister Joanna Burley “We want to express our gratitude to God and the people who support us.” She said one of their biggest supporters is Bishop Michael F who came to bless the new chapel and celebrate Mass for Gaudete Sunday Dec The chapel comfortably accommodated more than 100 worshippers noting that Gaudete means “rejoice,” which also is the focus of this second Marian year of preparation for the 2024 Diocesan Golden Jubilee “The entire diocese rejoices with you and offers congratulations.” Bishop Burbidge acknowledged that rejoicing may seem difficult at times adding that he has seen so many people carrying heavy crosses that trying to respond “seems so overwhelming If we are patient and give whatever we have to offer God will use it in ways we cannot imagine to make all things new If we can be instruments of his healing and love and mercy then we will have every reason to rejoice.” Sister Joanna noted that the $11 million construction is nearly paid for largely through the sale of some of the sisters’ land in Bristow and the sale of a former school building in Richmond The sisters continue to raise funds to demolish the old monastery building and chapel by next spring The sisters plan to create a prayer garden in the space The chapel is the centerpiece of the new monastery It’s where the sisters gather to pray the psalms together at morning as Benedictines the world over have done for centuries One of two chapel entrances faces the reserved Blessed Sacrament and the other faces the altar “There is no doubt when you come in that this is a sacred space,” Sister Joanna said The chapel incorporates nine Benedictine-themed stained glass windows transferred from the old chapel The windows depict scenes from the life of the order’s founder Benedictine women saints and other Benedictine symbols and mottos Benedict medal and the greeting Pax (peace) The other windows from the old chapel will be given to the new St “We’re thrilled to have them go to another worshipping community,” Sister Joanna said The Bristow sisters range in age from 50 to 94 so the new monastery was built with a fully staffed health care wing The infirmary in the old monastery was on the second floor “We are very blessed that the community can stay together through all the stages of life,” said Sister Joanna “We are trying to keep our elders with us and with each other.” Benedictines used to teach, serve as principals or minister in local parishes, but no sisters currently work outside the monastery, Sister Joanna said. In addition to offering programs, retreats and spiritual direction, they run a literacy ministry and manage the Place of Peace Columbarium and an associated bereavement ministry The monastery grounds are part of the sisters’ ministry of hospitality — St Benedict wrote in his Rule for monastic life that all guests are to be welcomed as Christ The grounds are open to guests from sunup to sundown and offer open spaces to walk and pray amid native plantings “It truly is a place of peace,” said Sister Andrea Verchuck “We have great respect for creation,” said Sister Joanna “What Benedictines are supposed to do is provide a place where people can come and find God That’s what we’ve tried to make this place — a place for all.” Contributed by Benedictine Sisters of Virginia Principal is pleased to announce that Archie Catalfamo joined Linton Hall School as Assistant Principal effective July 1 Catalfamo join the Linton Hall School Family,” said Mrs “We know that his vast experience and knowledge will serve the students and faculty of Linton Hall School well as we continue growing the Linton Hall School community and building upon our success” Catalfamo comes to Linton Hall School from Highland School in Warrenton where he served as Associate Director of Advancement and Director of Annual Fund & Alumni Programs Catalfamo managed Highland’s school development office and directed public relations and marketing for the Upper School Admission team He taught history in the Midwest (Colorado and Wisconsin) working in roles of increasing responsibility from history teacher to History Department Chair (2003-2004) to Co-Head of Upper School (2005)/Dean of Students (2004-2006) He served in coaching positions for cross country Catalfamo left Highland in 2007 to pursue founding a national college consulting firm Virginia as Director of Admission and Marketing before returning to Highland “We have been so impressed by all of the Linton Hall School students who have matriculated to Highland School over the years and eager to take advantage of the academic and co-curricular opportunities offered It is an honor to join a school and community that is so warm and committed to nurturing the spirits of young people” stated Catalfamo Catalfamo is a graduate of Kent School in Kent He and his wife Megan have two children and currently reside in Culpeper Linton Hall School is a co-educational Catholic school serving pre-school through 8th grade. the school remains true to the 1,500-year old Benedictine tradition of educating the whole person – body For more information about Linton Hall School and its programs e-mail lhs@lintonhall.edu or visit our website at www.lintonhall.edu You must be logged in to post a comment Site could provide 1 million sq ft of data center buildings Another 1 million sq ft (93,000 sqm) data center campus is taking a step closer to coming to Gainesville Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted last week to rezone a 196-acre site off Linton Hall Road and behind Piney Branch Elementary School for a new data center campus The plot is located on the north side on Linton Hall Road A proposal was put forward to put forward a comprehensive Plan Amendment and building height modification to 70ft for data centers During a presentation Marian Harders of Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh said around half of the plot was currently within the County’s Data Center Overlay District and said the lot could accommodate up to 1 million sq ft of data center Prince William Times reports the property was once slated for the failed "Stone Haven" residential development The plan would have seen 1,000 homes built The local planning commission previously recommended approving the project in June and in July The requests were all approved at the meeting Elsewhere in Gainesville, an application is currently being considered for a 2.89 million square feet data center development The I-66 and US 29 Technology Park would sit between Routes 55 and 29 and would see up to six data center buildings and substation built on the site in Northern Virginia The Prince William County Planning Commission deferred the request until October to gather more information and gain preliminary results of the overlay expansion study Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

been revised to allow up to nine data centers on 270 acres near Linton Hall and Devlin roads in Bristow Data centers have already been approved on the adjacent Hunter property a controversial plan to build up to nine centers behind several Bristow neighborhoods will return to the Prince William County Board of Supervisors for a possible vote on Tuesday 14— to explain the project’s latest updates The meeting will be held at Grace Life Church “Stanley Martin shelved this case nine months ago,” Lawson said My constituents deserve to know what is now under consideration Since Stanley Martin has not held a public input meeting Since it was last before the county board in February applicant Stanley Martin has made several revisions to its rezoning application The project seeks to transform about 270 acres at the corner of Linton Hall and Devlin roads into a new data center corridor The area is currently zoned for up to 516 homes but is adjacent to other parcels that were rezoned for data centers in 2021 who lost her bid for county board chair in last Tuesday’s election said she remains opposed to the development “I have called for an all stop to data center rezoning until we have a far better understanding of this evolving industry (with regard to) land-use Stanley Martin submitted a fourth application for the project on Sept the developer has pledged to leave about 85 acres closest to Chris Yung Elementary School free from data centers The area is being pledged for parks and recreational purposes The change reduces the maximum number of data centers that could be built on the property from 11 to nine Stanley Martin says it will keep the data centers from coming within 2,200 feet from Chris Yung Elementary School and from within 500 feet of nearby homes The updated application also increases the buffer between the data centers and Linton Hall and Devlin roads to 200 feet and reduces the maximum height of the data centers from 95 to 81 feet It also says the data center buildings should use a closed-loop cooling system a Bristow resident who launched the “Say No to Devlin Tech Park” Facebook page said the new submission provides no noise protection for surrounding communities during the “many years-long construction phase.” She notes the county’s current noise ordinance exempts construction noise Kelley also said the buildings will be too tall given that the property sits above surrounding residences “Data centers will be at a minimum of 141 to 171 feet above surrounding communities,” she wrote in a post on the “Say No to Devlin Tech Park” Facebook page Lawson said the town hall will provide an opportunity for both the public to understand the updates and ask questions ahead of the Nov Lawson she invited Board Chair-elect

candidates for … The battle over new data centers in western Prince William County has migrated from the Mana… The Prince William County Planning Commission recommended approval Wednesday for a plan to allow up to 4.25 million square feet of data centers -- an amount that would require seven to 11 buildings -- on 270 acres near Linton Hall and Devlin roads in Bristow the Prince William County Planning Commission voted Wednesday to greenlight another large data center campus -- this time for the Bristow area The Devlin Technology Park is proposed for 270  vacant acres that stretch from the intersection of Linton Hall and Devlin roads to the back of Chris Yung Elementary School The project would bring a maximum of 4.25 million square feet of data center space likely spread among seven to 11 different buildings The property was originally part of the ill-fated Stonehaven residential development a controversial plan that would have allowed more than 1,000 homes and provided a donated site for the county’s 13th high school the Prince William County school division purchased a site in the same area for the school In March 2020, housing developer Stanley Martin won the county’s approval to build 516 new homes on part of the site, a development some called "Stone haven-lite." Stanley Martin switched gears and decided to abandon its residential project for data centers Its rezoning application was filed only a few months after the Prince William County Board of Supervisors voted in September 2021 to allow data centers to be built on an adjacent 109 acres known as "the Hunter property." A maximum of 4.7 million square feet of data center space is permitted as part of that project If the Devlin Technology Park is ultimately approved by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors which was once slated to hold hundreds of new homes and a high school will become one of the largest data center campuses in the county The Planning Commission voted 5-1 on Wednesday Commissioner Richard Berry (Gainesville) cast the lone dissenting vote Berry said he would not vote to approve any new data center project outside of the county’s designated data center opportunity overlay district until the county completes an ongoing study on how and where to expand the overlay zone Berry expressed similar reservations during a review last week of the much larger, Prince William Digital Gateway. Stanley Martin is seeking both a comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning to open the area for data centers The application also asks that the area be included in the county's data center overlay zone The land is now planned for “suburban residential low” and “environmental resource” designations The application asks for the area to be rezoned from “planned mixed residential” to “M-2,” which would allow for data center space The application asks for data centers between 80 and 105 feet in height and is proposing vegetation buffers of 100 feet between the data centers and nearby subdivisions and a 50-foot buffer along a planned extension of University Boulevard could be as tall as 120 feet with their rooftop mechanical equipment which is not included in the county’s height limit Stanley Martin is promising more than $13 million in contributions for  transportation fire and rescue and water quality measures It is also promising to ensure that the data centers are built to comply with the county’s noise ordinance which limits sound to 60 decibels during the daytime hours and 55 decibels after 10 p.m in the area near Chris Yung Elementary School the data centers would be limited to 85 feet in height and could not be built within 700 feet of the school Both concessions were negotiated by Commissioner Tom Gordy (Brentsville) four residents who spoke in opposition to the project before the vote expressed concerns about the buildings being seen from adjacent neighborhoods and Chris Yung Elementary School A “balloon test” performed by applicant Stanley Martin determined the buildings would be visible from homes in Amberleigh Station and from Amberleigh Station in particular,” said Prince William Deputy County Executive Rebecca Horner “… It won’t be towering over the neighborhood Horner said Stanley Martin has proffered screening and fencing to minimize the impacts of the data center buildings and three associated electrical substations Horner further said the data center developers could “paint the buildings in colors that will blend into the skyline.” But those assurances weren’t enough to convince Dr a dentist who lives in Amberleigh Station and has a dental practice in the nearby Bristow Commons shopping center Pleickhardt said he is president of the Amberbleigh Station homeowners' association “We are 100% opposed to any data centers in any Bristow neighborhoods let alone ones that will be 120 feet tall,” Pleickhardt said before the vote Pleickhardt said he recently visited the Great Oaks neighborhood in Manassas where residents have been complaining about noise from a nearby Amazon data center He said he is concerned about the annoying humming sound he heard emanating from the data center while standing in a resident’s backyard “I believe the noise damage that will be conferred on these neighborhoods will make them unliveable,” he said Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com a 30-year-old enclave of

ribbon cutting Thursday signaled the official opening of the Route 29 and Linton Hall Road interchange project in Gainesville — a project that many hope alleviate a traffic headache eliminated the angled railroad crossing in the area just off Interstate 66 that could be dangerous and lead to major traffic backups Prince William County Supervisor Jeanine Lawson describes the opening as “manna from heaven” She says former supervisor John Stirrup described the old Route 29 and railroad crossings as something like the Berlin Wall and she agrees that it became something no one wanted to cross She has lived in the area for about 20 years Virginia Transportation Secretary Aubrey Layne also attended the ribbon cutting and pointed to the impact that clearing up the backups onto I-66 can have on the larger regional traffic flow “This eliminates the at-grade railroad crossing … safety has been improved and in this rapidly growing area its unlocking the stop-and-go traffic on [Route 29 and Linton Hall Rd],” he says Dick Black gave an anecdote about being in the car with kids before the changes — when the kids would start counting the number of freight cars going by the train stops and backs up and you start counting all over again,” he says “You know what that does to traffic congestion.” the changes leave room for Norfolk Southern to add another track under the overpasses that could not only help with freight congestion but also could provide extra track slots if VRE service is extended to Gainesville and Haymarket This website is not intended for users located within the
