Good summary of the LAR vote. Mike Grossman and Mike Garcia are involved in a highly contested and widely unpopular development in Northern Virginia called the Prince William Digital Gateway which plans to flip 2k acres of farmland next to a historic battlefield into 100+ foot tall data centers. I suspect they are planning to use the funds from this potential development - which has yet to be approved - for the LAR project. I wonder how they plan to finance LAR if this controversial data center deal fails to pass.

Thank you. I have read about that project but did not realize they were involved.
Grossman is one of the leading landholders. He and Garcia bought up some of the undeveloped acreage in the rezoning area as well. https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/from-horse-farms-to-data-farms-how-102-rural-landowners-came-to-agree-to-sell/article_96c66ce6-b6a5-11ec-9d46-635287a79a8e.html
