Lunch & Learn: Just say NO to Plaza 500's Edsall Data Center Substation
·OnlineOnlineRegister here for Zoom link and to receive event details from hosts.
The opposition to the Edsall electrical substation for the Plaza 500 data center--at the border of Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria--is mounting. Fairfax County's Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on December 2, 2026. This is YOUR chance to add your voice to the chorus, asking for a denial of the 2232 application.
Join this webinar to learn about the (confusingly named) "2232" process of approving or denying the building of a public utility, learn about the ways to testify (via written comments, phone, pre-recorded video, or in-person!), and what you can say to be most convincing. There will be plenty of time for Q&A.
It can be quite empowering to sit in a room with a hundred peers opposing bad development like this! If you haven't testified before, this is a great chance to share the experience with us and others. We can help!
Cohosted by Nature Forward, CCAN Action Fund, VA Sierra Club, and the Save Bren Mar coalition.
