The construction of an 800,000 square foot green data center built on 151 acres of the Quantum Loophole campus, creating the Frederick Clean Cloud Community was announced last fall. This month, the Frederick Business Quarterly featured an article about the development and our role in supporting the community.

Time Flies When You Having Fun as a New Industry is Being Built (#DataCenters) On 3/9/1999 (25 years ago) at monumental ground breaking ceremony on Infantry Drive, Manassas, VA on a cold wet snowy morning. One of the most historic data centers being built for one of the original hyperscalers; AOL a $550M data center on 20 acres, 240,000 gsf, (6) 15k sf computer rooms with 1.2MWs each, (2) on-site wells, delivered in 2000 was announced. Working with Cathy Delcoco and Mark Larsen at CBRE on this project was hardwork that helped change the landscape in #NoVA and globally for data centers. Our early days were spent on Site Selection / Property Acquisitions and Leasing / Incentives with AOL, Frontier Communications, Global Crossing and many more technology companies. Governor, James S. Gilmore signed the original data center tax code bill to help usher in the Information Age and to create incentives for building data centers in the Commonwealth of Virginia while creating the gold standard for the data center industry. The incentive package waived the 4.5% state sales tax on computer servers and other equipment purchased by Internet providers that offered their own content (aka Content Manufacturing Bill) along John B. Sternlicht, JD, CEc.D, FM, HLM, Virginia Economic Development Partnership, Policy and Legislation Director. Prince William County Economic Development Director Martin Briley created the original Fast Track Program for data centers to be built and an aggressive tax depreciation schedule to reduce real estate assessment and personal property taxes. Additionally the Governor’s opportunity fund and matching funds by Prince William County reduced permitting fees and help offset site infrastructure cost. Having the opportunity to work on this monumental data center project with industry titans was historic; AOL: Faith Denault; Michael Bartscherer; Deborah Rochkind; Al Nielsen; Scott Davis, Richard Waddle, Matt Korn; Terry Laber; Geraldine MacDonald; Joe Barrett; Art Sanderson; Victor Blake; Michael R. Koch; Wadley Donovan Gutshaw Consulting: Dennis Donovan; Holder Construction: Rick Morgan, Tom Shumaker, CCG: Bruce Edwards, Mike Mosman. NOVEC: Michael Dailey. Please accept my apologies if I have missed other significant contributors. I am are very grateful to be invited in the room to contribute on this monumental project that help shape, curate, transform, elevate, data centers in #NoVA and globally. Many of these professionals contributions today expand globally to developing the best data centers and technologies for man-kind and our data center industry. Gratefully blessed.

Additional thought to consider. When your asked or feel stuck in a meeting, project (or today on a Zoom, Google, Teams call). Many might say what difference will this client, project, professionals, services, products make? Well. It might take time to simmer. You just might find yourself sitting in on one of the most significant client meetings, projects… that might create a new industry, be a catalyst or disruptive to to an industry, product, marketplace…have impact locally, globally… Find inspiration. Have passion. Be guided. Seek knowledge. Then maybe you’ll look back and remember. Wow! This client’s project, professionals really had an impact and still does today on so many different levels. This is called a blessing. When professionals and projects impact other projects, industry, marketplaces, services, you and your family. Be better today, than the day before. Yesterday was a blessing for today, and today will bless tomorrow.

Data centers are continuing to flock to Northern Nevada, showing no signs of slowing down, according to Nevada Appeal. The region's favorable climate, tax incentives, and reliable power infrastructure have made it an attractive destination for data center development. As the digital economy and demand for cloud services grow, Northern Nevada's data center expansion aligns with the evolving technological landscape. This news underlines the area's pivotal role in supporting the data center industry's robust growth. https://lnkd.in/gZkC4a_y #DataCenters #NorthernNevada #TechExpansion #DigitalEconomy #DataCenterDevelopment #TechNews #DataInfrastructure #TaxIncentives #PowerInfrastructure #EconomicGrowth #DigitalTransformation #UnderstandingEnterpriseTech #EnterpriseTechnologyNow #EnterpriseTechnologyToday

Officials in King George County, Virginia, have voted to renegotiate an agreement with Amazon needed for the tech giant to move forward with a planned 869-acre data center campus. The decision by the King George County Board of Supervisors, first reported by The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star, could walk back a deal with Amazon, approved by the body less than a month earlier, authorizing tax incentives for a proposed $6B data center campus at the site of the decommissioned Birchwood power plant. The reversal comes amid growing political opposition to data center development in Virginia and just as Amazon is rapidly expanding its footprint across the commonwealth. Utility Birchwood Power Partners first proposed a data center campus on the site of its former power plant in July, with Amazon revealed as the intended user soon after. According to planning documents filed with the county, the project’s initial phase would entail 4M SF of data centers across eight buildings, with a pair of electrical substations. Subsequent phases could bring the facility’s full build-out to 7.5M SF over 15 years. The campus would be the first major data center project in King George County, located between Washington, D.C., and Richmond. While the county approved rezoning for the project in September, officials also negotiated a performance agreement dictating the tax breaks that Amazon was eligible to receive. On Dec. 19, the board approved a deal that granted Amazon a tax rebate equivalent to 10% of its infrastructure costs and tiered tax breaks tied to the tech giant’s spending in the county. The agreement likely would have given Amazon a $36M rebate on infrastructure costs and allowed it to pay $1.25 for every $100 of assessed value for information technology equipment compared to $3.25 paid by other businesses in the county, according to Data Center Dynamics. But just two weeks later, the board voted to renegotiate the deal. The changes come after a significant turnover on the board to start the year, with a skeptic of the project taking over the board's chair position and three of his political allies elected as new board members, according to The Free Lance-Star. The new board chair, Supervisor T.C. Collins, has argued that the additional tax revenue the county was set to receive wasn't enough to justify granting use of county land to a large corporation like Amazon. The reversal by King George County officials is the latest indicator of an increasingly challenging political landscape for data center developers in Virginia and other major digital infrastructure hubs. Acrimony over data center projects was a central election issue in Prince William County last year, nearly derailing what is set to be the world’s largest data center corridor. Last week, lawmakers from Fairfax County proposed state legislation that would limit which data centers were eligible for state-level tax incentives.
