Strasburg Council Weighs Data Center Future | Washington DC News

Strasburg’s council is split over whether to ban data centers entirely from zoning — a move that could halt future projects but leave existing ones like Project Tallmadge untouched. While some members urge caution and deeper understanding of the industry’s impacts, others question the need for change, noting limited land options anyway. Residents are divided too: some fear enforcement gaps, others demand more transparency. Legal advice warns that banning outright might create liability, while special-use permits offer safer ground. With three council members backing the idea, the mayor suggests moving toward a formal vote — highlighting the town’s struggle to balance growth with control.
