2026 County Testimony
FAIRFAX COUNTY
Operating Budget
NVC Testimony on Fairfax County FY 2027 Advertised Budget
NVC's three requests for the FY27 Budget are:
- Keep the tax rate flat, while considering the impact of all local taxes, not just the real
estate tax, on economic growth. - Fund economic incentives by raising the cap on the Economic Opportunity Reserve or
identifying other ways to strengthen Fairfax County’s economic development toolbox. - And proactively engage with the business community in pursuing economic growth and diversification, public-private partnerships, and improvements to affordability.
LOUDOUN COUNTY
Data Center Grandfathering Resolution Amendment
NVC Testimony on Loudoun County Data Center Grandfathering Resolution Amendment (October 2026)
"Loudoun County can and should continue your work to improve land use standards, protect residential neighborhoods, require meaningful mitigation, and plan responsibly for energy and infrastructure. We respect the County's right to shape data center policy, and we know these are hard decisions. Tonight we're asking the Board to take a careful look at what rescinding the March 2025 Grandfathering Resolution would mean before you act."
Data Center Development Moratorium
NVC Senior Vice President of Government Relations Clayton Medford delivered NVC's testimony urging the rejection of a moratorium on new data center applications (item 14L).
