zoning

Every Virginia Board of Supervisors has the legal authority RIGHT NOW under Va. Code sections 15.2-2280 and 15.2-2286 to require Special Use Permits (SPEX) for data centers. Loudoun voted 7-2 on March 18, 2025 to end by-right data center approvals. Prince William voted 8-0 against a 2,000-acre proposal. Shenandoah had the authority before Takanock manufactured a vesting letter. The failure to use it is political — not legal.

health

Electromagnetic field (EMF) health risks from high-voltage transmission lines. Dominion Energy internal literature confirms childhood leukemia risk, pacemaker malfunction below safety limits, and DNA damage. Directly relevant to Valley Link 765kV and all planned transmission expansion in Virginia.

National Patterns

Community FOIA Fund

Public records aren't free — filing fees, copying costs, and staff time add up fast for counties to produce what we request. Chip in to help fund records requests, research, and the work of keeping this page updated. Contributions support CaseLock's ongoing public-records work generally — they are not tied to any single request, and we can't guarantee any specific document will be obtained. Contributions are not tax-deductible.
