Amazon agreed with Loudoun County to drop its site plan for four data center buildings; it will donate 25 acres for an arts center and indoor sports space, rezone the rest for housing and mixed use, and give $5 million to the county housing fund
Notes: Amazon paid $427 million for the campus in March. The county calls the deal Project Potomac Promise. The donated land would become a district where data centers are not allowed, even by special exception. Supervisors still have to approve the new rezoning, and one voted against fast-tracking it.
