But last year, the project was flagged by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for violations relating to the Virginia Air Pollution Control Law.

Has anyone confirmed that the meeting for Valley Link on June 15 at Spotsy Freedom Middle School is still on or was it cancelled?

Valley Link says the new routes are not set in stone, and they’re holding another round of open houses in each of the nine counties to continue collecting feedback.

There are 2 different meetings being held tonight at the same time for 2 different data centers in Spotsylvania County. Even though they all effect all of us, regardless of where we are in the county and surrounding areas, we are going to have to divide and conquer and choose which one we will be attending tonight.

I sat down with my planner to note all the upcoming events about data centers.
Two scheduled on June 4th. One at Dominion raceway and a second at Lee Hill Community center.
Smart play on their part. The community can't be at both places at once.
But they REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY.
The meeting scheduled for June 15 for Valley Link also corresponds with a county meeting.
Several others but I just gave up.

Do we truly have a board that wants to hear our wishes? Answer our questions? Address our concerns?
