Data Center Development
Why This Matters
Prince George’s County has an opportunity to lead—not just in technology, but in ensuring our residents share in the benefits of the economy of the future. Data centers already power nearly every part of our daily lives, from our schools and hospitals to our small businesses and public safety systems.
As demand for AI and cloud computing continues to grow, the U.S. Department of Energy projects that electricity use from data centers will continue rising over the coming years, reflecting their growing role as essential infrastructure.¹ The question isn’t whether this technology will shape our future—it already is. The question is whether Prince George’s County will help shape that future and ensure our families benefit from the jobs, tax revenue, workforce opportunities, and community investments it can bring.
Economic Opportunity
Communities with mature data center industries have demonstrated the potential for significant local tax revenue. For example, Loudoun County, Virginia generated approximately $875 million in data center tax revenue in 2024—representing roughly 38% of its county budget.²
With smart, inclusive data center development, Prince George’s County can ease the property tax burden, support essential public services, and expand economic opportunity for residents.
Responsible Development
When paired with responsible planning, community benefit agreements, workforce development, and strong environmental standards, data center investment can help strengthen our economy, modernize infrastructure, and create lasting opportunities for Prince George’s County residents.
This is a pivotal moment to close the digital divide and unlock community-led investment—ensuring that the benefits of data center development are shared by families across Prince George’s County.
