Landover Data Center

In Prince George’s County, we are fighting a new push to build data centers in Maryland. The County Council voted in 2019 to allow data centers to be built in residential areas and, in 2025, they established a task force to study the issue with a deadline of just nine months.
 
The Landover Data Center project has been the main focus of its work, which has lacked transparency, thoroughness, and fairness. With over 600 data centers online in Virginia, the regional grid is already being over-taxed, with bills starting to skyrocket for area residents.
