Data centers drive $1.2 billion in taxes

Nick Gillespie reports that data centers in Loudoun County generated about $1.2 billion in property tax revenue in fiscal year 2026, accounting for roughly 39% of the county's overall budget.

Despite the significant financial contribution, Gillespie notes that data centers remain highly unpopular in the area, even as they deliver clear economic benefits.
