In a region known for its data centers, Prince William County has surpassed 3.5 million square feet of data center space.
According to the county’s Department of Economic Development, the data center industry has yielded 31 projects to date that have injected $6.2 billion in capital investment and 912 jobs into the county.
To keep growing that industry, Prince William has identified more than 10,000 acres to support data center commercial interests.
“This is a high-performing growth industry that supports high-paying STEM-related jobs and a talent pipeline for other fast growing enterprises,” Jeffrey Kaczmarek, executive director, Prince William County Department of Economic Development, said in a statement. “The ever increasing demand for data at the speed of light now transcends every aspect of everyday life – from appointment-setting to video-watching – and it is this demand that continues to drive industry momentum.”
