King George BOS and BOD 06/02/2026

The King George County Government held a joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors on June 2, 2026, which included extensive public comments primarily focused on the proposed data center development near Brody Creek. Residents expressed concerns about environmental impacts, noise pollution, watershed protection, and insufficient community notification. The board clarified that the legislative approval for the data center was completed in August 2025, and subsequent steps involve administrative site plan reviews and engineering assessments. The meeting also covered procurement and budget matters, including approval of the King George County Service Authority operating budget of approximately $9.47 million, renewal of the Emboden Environmental Services contract for five years with a 5% increase, and authorization of a $111,945 change order for the Hopyard to Courthouse interconnect project funded partly by ARPA grants. Additionally, the board discussed financial policies, tax rates, and capital improvement projects such as the new fire and rescue station and a middle school turn lane project. A proposed trash ordinance was introduced for discussion, and the board addressed transparency in financial reporting and procurement processes. Motions were passed to approve budgets, contract renewals, and change orders, with several items deferred for further public comment or future meetings.
