[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely hate data centers and don't want one near my house. However, data centers seem like the only thing that will somewhat protect Northern Virginia from the massive wave of unemployment and economic decline due to a rapid decrease in the size of the federal workforce. My property rate in Loudoun county is going to decline around 7% this year and the county is projected to pull in close to a billion dollars in tax revenue from data centers in FY 2026. Loudoun and PWC seem to be the most insulated from this decline, but Fairfax will get some spillover employment benefits tax revenue from the data center boom. Unfortunately, Maryland and DC will not be as lucky and they will turn into the Detroit of the East Coast. Arlington is also going to be in very bad shape, but at least they have Amazon and some other large corporations. [/quote]

This may help the govt it folks but in general those are the ones able to keep their jobs because they are doing something. You think the data centers are going to hire a bunch of policy wonks from USAID who are good at extracting money from grants and other foreign aid[/quote]
