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.
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.
