Powering the
Cloud Economy
Welcome to the Mid-County Industrial Park
Redevelopment Project
VISION
Transforming Industrial Landscapes Into a Hub Of Technology and Prosperity
The Mid-County Industrial Park (MCIP) marks the dawn of a new era for our region, transforming a planned industrial zone into a state-of-the-art data center campus. This ambitious initiative is not just about redevelopment; it's about reimagining the role of industrial land to serve the future needs of our community and bring economic prosperity to Prince William County residents.
The Redevelopment
A Vision for Growth and Innovation
At the heart of the MCIP lies a vision to harness the untapped potential of our industrial areas, turning them into engines of economic growth, technological advancement, and community development. By welcoming data centers into these spaces, we're setting the stage for a wave of innovation that will ripple through every corner of our community.
Why Data Centers?
Data centers are the backbone of the digital age, powering everything from the cloud services that businesses rely on, to the streaming platforms that entertain us, to the government agencies that protect us. By establishing a cluster of data centers within our community, we're not just creating jobs; we're inviting the future of technology, research, and digital entrepreneurship into our backyard.
Benefits The Reach Throughout The County
The impact of the MCIP extends far beyond the physical boundaries of the redevelopment sites. Here are just a few ways our community stands to benefit:
-
Economic Empowerment: The development of data centers is a significant economic catalyst, creating a wide range of job opportunities in technology, IT, construction, and facility management.
-
Enhanced Connectivity: With top-tier data centers in our midst, our community will enjoy improved internet speeds and reliability.
-
Explosion of Tax Revenues: The tax revenue from data centers will transform government resources, allowing the County to investment in schools, infrastructure, and community initiatives at levels seen in virtually no other place in the country. PWC will become a premier destination for people to move to.
The Comprehsenive Plan
Designed With The Community In Mind
Project Overview
-
64 acres of planned industrial being redeveloped into a cloud campus, consisting a three buildings
-
The project is within the Data Center Opportunity Overlay District
-
Access to power and utilities would solely be on the project site
Property is currently designated as Industrial (I3)
In the Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District Since Its Creation
Hundreds-of-Thousands Diesel Truck Trips Each Year Will be Eliminated
Site Lies Within The Powells Creek Watershed
With no impact on the Occoquan Watershed and will be connected to public sewer and water.
High Voltage Power Lines are Located on the Project
The site will be supplied by the existing transmission lines.
The Development Plan
Designed With Community Input
The development plan was created with community and county officials feedback and input to minimize the impact on residents.
-
The buildings have been placed at the edges of the development site and a previous building near homes has been removed.
-
A 50 foot buffer is being created to isolate the utilities, which is over three times the required buffering. The site will add planting and preservation areas, wherever possible.
-
Approximately 75% of the site will remain pervious.
-
The entire project site will now be subject to the current stormwater management regulations codified in 2013.
-
The current Resource Protection Area will be protected.

The Design
The Evolution Of Data Center Design
Data centers, the silent powerhouses of the digital age, have undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. No longer just vast warehouses filled with racks of servers, the modern data center is a masterclass in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
MCIP will strictly comply with the design standards and guidelines developed by the County. The buildings will be designed to blend into the surrounding area, including screening any equipment and implementing at least 30% fenestration on the buildings.
