Amazon has bought the land in Prince William County at the center of heated debates and marathon board of supervisors meetings over whether or not allow data centers to be built there, according to a report by the Washington Business Journal.
The report revealed Amazon Data Services paid $700 million for the majority of the plot of undeveloped land near Devlin Road, south of Interstate 66, in Bristow.
In 2023, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors approved rezoning this land, named Devlin Technology Park, to allow for a campus of data centers to be built there, after meetings lasting through the night dominated by residents decrying the move to allow for the development of these massive facilities.
Residents challenged this zoning change in court, but judges upheld the decision in lower court and on appeal.
