Work Session
What the bill says
On the agenda for Board of County Commissioners — 2026-03-24 — 2026-03-24. Agenda section: WORK SESSION
Background
Natelli Holdings has requested the opportunity to present a proposal to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for a combined economic development initiative and regional park in Calvert County. The proposal involves acquiring heavy industrial–zoned property adjacent to the Appeal Landfill to develop a data center campus, along with a $30 million investment to construct a regional park in District 1. The proposed park site is situated between three county public schools and would feature amenities outlined in Calvert County’s Dominion Energy Regional Park Master Plan.
Discussion
Natelli Holdings and Rodgers Consulting will present a proposal to the BOCC to develop a data center campus and a regional park in Calvert County. The proposed data center site is consistent with existing industrial land use and would be subject to standard planning, environmental, utility, transportation, and permitting reviews.
