A grassroots campaign has stalled a $5 billion data center project in Prince George's County.
Led by activist Taylor Frazier McCollum, the opposition gathered more than 25,000 signatures, citing concerns over water pollution and diesel generation near residential areas.
The Maryland Tech Council argues the facility would generate substantial tax revenue and create high-paying jobs, helping address the county's $130 million budget deficit.
The development was first reported in July 2025.
