Front Royal Bans Data Centers | Washington DC News

Front Royal’s Town Council is set to ban data centers in all zoning districts, moving ahead with a new ordinance after earlier rejecting them even with special permits. The draft includes a precise definition to distinguish data centers from other tech businesses, potentially positioning the town ahead of state-level discussions on a possible statewide moratorium. A public hearing is scheduled for September 28, with legal advice still being considered. Meanwhile, the council also approved recommendations to expand outdoor dining in certain business districts, while briefly touching on a proposed mural and the town attorney position — with outdoor dining slated for further review at a future meeting.
