Amazon has applied to construct four new data centers on a plot of land that was once a family farm in Manassas, Va., according to Data Center Dynamics.
The new facility would consist of four two-story data centers and a substation on the site. Each building would have a total floor space of 256,500 square feet.
The 80-acre property is situated across from three joining plots of land. Amazon is currently petitioning the Prince William County planning commission with rezoning, comprehensive plan amendment, and special use permit applications. Although the property is located outside of the Data Center Opportunity Overlay District, the commission said, “There is no meaningful difference between the Vulcan Quarry and the property in terms of data center development potential or access to infrastructure.”
County planners are reportedly reviewing Amazon’s application but have not scheduled any public hearings regarding the applications.
