Prince William County supervisor Bob Weir, who died in July 2023, had advocated for regulating the rapid growth of data centers in Gainesville. Under his leadership, an advisory panel was formed to address noise issues from these facilities.
However, in October 2023, the board of supervisors disbanded the panel in a surprise vote, undoing Weir's efforts and the work of local residents. The vote was held without advisory group members present and sparked allegations of deceit among board members.
