Bisnow reports that a proposal to remove existing approvals from 15 data center projects in Loudoun County stalled after county lawmakers tabled the measure due to insufficient support.

The article says the action reflects legal and financial concerns in a sector that is already facing local opposition that can make projects harder to finance.

Bisnow notes that Loudoun County, Virginia is the world’s largest data center hub, with more than 250 facilities in operation and more than 120 projects in the development pipeline.

The piece adds that much of the world’s internet traffic passes through the county’s eastern edge, where a dense cluster known as Data Center Alley helped establish Loudoun as the industry’s global capital.
