What is the Future of Data Centers in Loudoun?
Keynote Speaker: Buddy Rizer
By all traditional economic development metrics, a generation of data center development has created substantial benefits for Loudoun County and its taxpayers.
Alex Taylor, VEDP
In recent years, this industry has experienced growing challenges. These include a more restrictive land use environment, constraints on energy availability, and growing demand driven by increased business and consumer usage of cloud-based services and the emergence of artificial intelligence.
On July 23rd, the Loudoun Chamber will convene state and local industry experts to explore the future of data center development and how the County can continue to reap the tax, jobs, and economic benefits this industry has long provided.
This PolicyMaker Series event will feature a keynote presentation from Buddy Rizer, Executive Director of Loudoun’s Department of Economic Development, an internationally recognized leader in the data center market.
Alex Taylor, Senior Project Manager at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, will follow Mr. Rizer. Taylor is responsible for driving data center development in the Commonwealth, a top priority for the VEDP.
The event will feature a panel discussion following these presentations focusing on the industry’s major issues. Join us for this important event about the future of Data Centers in Loudoun County.
