Cardinal Conversation: Data center pushback

Virginia has more data centers than other state, but lately proposals for new ones have been running into strong opposition from the public.

A proposal by a Northern Virginia company to have 2,000 acres in Pittsylvania County rezoned to allow a data center was voted down by the county planning commission.

Grace Mamon with Cardinal News was at that meeting and she spoke with Fred Echols.
