Not on the established NPS battlefield, but just adjacent. But you can make the case that it's on part of the real battlefield. I live in the area. These massive buildings are popping up all over the place around here. And our county council is quite Ok with this. |

So, these are the hard reality of "cloud computing," the physical location for all that memory storage Microsoft 10 and 11 insist I need to use, rather than store things in the memory on my home computer, the backup unit I bought, or all the little disks and memory sticks I have around? And the buildings are large and ugly and will be made redundant by the next big improvement in computer technology. And then the buildings will sit there, still ugly, but now empty and not even generating tax revenue. Trying to get this straight. Perhaps I'm just getting old and paranoid. Grelber

What intrigues me about this story is the size. 2100 acres is more than 3 square miles of dirt. I am amazed there is a single property block in that portion of Prince William County that that is that large. That is about 1% of the entire landmass of the County. |

What makes this situation worse is that the county commission knew that the citizens opposed this rezoning of the property and so they approved the zoning changes during a lame duck session at the end of their elected terms. I wonder why? |

One can hope the place gets plagued by battlefield poltergeists that mess with all the electronics (phantom cannonballs, anyone…? ;-) |
