The Prince George’s County Data Center Task Force was officially established on
April 15, 2025, by County Council Resolution CR-16-2025, to address the impact of data
centers on:
• Existing and future local energy demands and potential impacts to County
ratepayers and taxpayers in meeting future energy demand.
• Environmental impacts on the air, water, and woodland quality and supply
in Prince George’s County, including recommended measures to mitigate the
adverse effects.
• Impact on quality of life aspects of areas surrounding data centers, such as
viewscapes, open and green spaces, accessibility and urban mobility, and social or
recreational facilities.
The M-NCPPC Prince George’s County Planning Department, in collaboration with
Gensler, led a public engagement initiative to gather community input that will shape
future data center development strategies in Prince George’s County.
The aim of the public engagement initiative was to:
• Explore benefits and potential impacts around data center development.
