Timeline and estimated capacity not available
A proposal for a data center in Leesburg, Virginia, has been approved.
Leesburg is a town located northwest of Washington, DC. It is the county seat of Loudoun County.
On July 15, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted by a margin of one to approve a rezoning application for a 22-acre land parcel along Crosstrail Boulevard and Sycolin Road, turning the parcel’s designation from Joint Land Management Area to Planned Development - Industrial Park.
The deciding vote was cast by County Chair Phyllis J. Randall, who told Loudoun Now: “ I had a very hard time with this application for quite a few reasons, and I have been 51-49 back and forth and back and forth.”
The data center, known as the Cross Mill Center, would be located near Leesburg Executive Airport. Development timelines and estimated capacity were not made available.
This permits up to 556,746 sq ft (51,723 sqm) worth of data center uses or up to 416,000 sq ft (38,647 sqm) of warehousing or distribution facility uses, or up to 218,000 sq ft (20,252 sqm) of flex industrial uses.
The Board was previously unable to make a decision on the data center proposal because motions to approve or deny the project lacked majority support.
JK Land Holdings is the developer. Owned by Chuck Kuhn, the company is a major data center player in Loudoun County with multiple projects in various stages of development. Their Greenlin Park project, located on an 83-acre land parcel along Dulles Greenway, recently got approval from the Board of Supervisors.
