Sentinel Data Center (Project Shirley)

Rezone ~160 acres from A-1 agricultural to M-1 light industrial for a 500MW phased data center campus. Commission forwarded it to the county council with no recommendation after a failed moratorium motion and a 4-4 tie on unfavorable recommendation.
Impact summary
Would industrialize prime farmland near the Dinwiddie corridor; residents cite aquifer, noise, heat and decommissioning risks while the developer points to special-exception safeguards still to come.
