Accokeek Center
Stephen W. DeFalco (Falmouth Tech LLC). Approved, 122 MW
The Stafford County Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 on October 8, 2026 to approve the Accokeek Center, a two-building, 590,000 square foot data center campus with a 122 megawatt load on 121 acres in the Falmouth district, even though it did not fully meet the county's new 750-foot residential setback rule. Applicant Stephen W. DeFalco of Falmouth Tech LLC projected about 13.5 million dollars a year in county tax revenue, and more than 30 residents spoke against the project at the final hearing.
