Episode Details

Amherst County is moving to tighten the reins on data center development after community outcry over a proposed facility near Madison Heights. A new ordinance would require developers to secure special permits, undergo public hearings, and submit detailed plans — shifting from automatic approval to a more scrutinized process. Residents are demanding stronger safeguards against potential long-term impacts and health risks, while officials navigate state laws and community pressure. The Planning Commission will revisit the proposal in July, with a potential vote by the Board of Supervisors in August.
