A measure to delay controversial land-use decisions until a new Prince William's County board is seated in January seeks to take advantage of board chair Ann Wheeler's election loss.
The measure by Supervisor Jeanine Lawson , who won her party’s nomination for board chair last month, would place a moratorium on land-use decisions that face community opposition and aren’t included on an expedited agenda.
Wheeler also declined to comment on the measure. But several of the board’s other Democrats, who hold a 5-3 majority, said they would oppose it. “We are not focused only on that project,” she said, about the Digital Gateway. “We don’t have time to politicize our governing.” “If I were a supervisor who had a general election and understood that this push for change was being amplified by citizens not feeling listened to on data center development … I would want to have as little media attention as possible on my votes,” Schlossberg said.she made during her June 27 announcement that such moratoriums are “customary” in Prince William County. They noted that such a policy hasn’t been in effect since 2011.
Fairfax County’s moratorium on all land-use cases during lame-duck periods has been in effect since the mid-1990s, reaffirmed every January. Stafford County adopted its policy in 2022, while Loudoun and Arlington counties have no such policies.Travis Turner, whose company, LSI Communications, represents homeowners who stand to benefit from the Digital Gateway project, called Lawson’s motion “an election year campaign stunt.
