Local votes and rules
✋ Turned down
The county zoning appeals board unanimously ruled that an 89-acre site at 1931 Old Bermuda Hundred Road in Chester has no 'vested right' to a data center without a conditional use permit. The owner can still apply for the permit.
🗺️ Zoning change
In its rewritten zoning code (called ZOMod), the county ended by-right data centers. They are allowed only in the new Employment Center and Employment General districts, with a conditional use permit and public hearings. The new code took effect January 1, 2026.
