• Land Swap Proposed for Data Centers Near Prince William Forest Park (potomaclocal.com) — Federal officials are weighing a land swap that could allow at least four data centers to be built beside Prince William Forest Park, near Quantico Creek, a key local waterway. Conservation groups fear damage to one of Northern Virginia’s cleanest streams, while local leaders are wary of putting data centers inside park boundaries. Quantico-area residents may want to watch how this proposal evolves.
