  • …starting, and this -- especially MR. Turner, we are getting request from all around the nation and even some outside of the country, about data centers, because we have so many here in loudoun county, and we have some zoning things that we would do differently today, if we knew today what we knew 20 years ago so we ar…

  • …difficult than previous years, we are starting to plan for facing a more constrained budget as we move forward with our revenue stream from data centers which is expected to do slow over the next five years. We are working from a growth rate perspective rather than the quote-unquote tax rate perspective on the county b…

  • …also working on our housing. Because the board gave clear direction to staff that we will not be lowering the personal property tax rate on data centers. We will have what has been termed, excess revenue over that 9% growth rate that we are working towards. That excess revenue has to be allocated, because by law, we ha…

  • …tax year 26, I would like to see this further reduce the tax year '27, the county will have approximately $15 million in excess funds from data center revenue. I support lowering the debt and the cip and allocating a percentage for the housing fund but we did they give residents relief with a vehicle tax reduction. Re…

  • …ge for the housing fund but we did they give residents relief with a vehicle tax reduction. Residents need to see the financial benefits of data centers and feel the financial benefits of data centers, because they have a significant impact on the community, the county has access. I believe we need to continue to reduc…

  • …trol the predictability, the county should pursue a thoughtful and strategic physical -- fiscal policy that includes reserving a portion of data center revenue for one- time expenses and lower the vehicle property tax. I think staff said that they would like to hold it at $3.09, just to see the impact that we will know…

  • …go up. That is my hold off. I am glad we are making amendments. But, I mean, the highest household income in the nation, we have a massive data center growth that we have experienced . And I don't see why we can't keep our equalized rate at 79.5 cents, it goes to the core of the affordable housing. I just cannot suppo…

  • …supervisor briskman we thank you, I am going to push back a little bit on the idea that our taxpayers are not seeing relief because of the data center revenue. That is an absolutely insane stament. There is no county in this commonwealth that can have a check for $22 million to buy oak hill. There is no county that ca…

  • …up. Maybe more than we want them to, but they are. But the idea via that our taxpayers and our residents are not seeing the benefits of the data center revenue is an insane statement for anyone to make. Absolutely insane, we are land banking and using the dollars wisely for the future of our county. The cip fund, the c…

  • …fewer bonds because we will be investing, hopefully with my next motion, for the next three years, we will be investing 80% of that excess data center revenue into our cip. Don't tell me that is not going to save taxpayers money year over year over year, but it is good fiscal policy. Again, I will reiterate, the 80.5-…

  • …turner. Thank you for making this point, it is true and not only that, there are some proposals out there that any county with more than 20 data centers are going to have you spend their data revenue on something specific that we do not get to vote on again, it would be not just 20%, but 80% to our cip. Let's remember,…

  • …we do not get to vote on again, it would be not just 20%, but 80% to our cip. Let's remember, this is largely excess revenue created by the data center. To me, this indicates that this board is going to be using both funds responsibly, do not take our funds away and force us to go electric infrastructure or stuff like…

  • …y of alexandria is involved, I think it makes sense for us to participate given the crisis, the energy crisis that is happening, due to the data center, our high-load users. I to get is making sense to encourage rooftop solar for constituents so they can have energy independence. We know that energy, they are going to…

  • …is board has been in place. And, a lot of good arguments can be made, the basic argument that I am making, we have so much revenue from our data centers, there is no reason that a single taxpayer in loudoun county should pay $1080 more for their home than they did five years ago, subsequent to inflation that I don't th…

  • …hree of the four recommendations for the purchase of munro oak hill, for a future state park, working with amazon to mitigate the impact of data centers on the meadows community. yes, we did a mitigation plan. I am very happy. Amazon was going to work with the community. Initiatives include a policy statement about no…
