Qualified Data Centers


Residents and stakeholders were invited to learn about Qualified Data Center (QDC) Uses in Prince George’s County during July community meetings.

Prince George’s County is studying the potential risks and community benefits of Qualified Data Centers. The M-NCPPC Prince George’s County Planning Department hosted three community meetings in July for residents and stakeholders, where we explored:

  • The existing and future local energy demands of data centers
  • The potential impacts on ratepayers and taxpayers in meeting future energy demands
  • The environmental impact of data centers on air quality, water supply, and noise quality in the County
  • Impacts on the quality of life in areas surrounding data centers
