MANASSAS, Va. - In Northern Virginia, another battle is brewing over data centers in the heart of residential neighborhoods in Prince William County.  Community activists held a news conference and a rally Monday afternoon to bring attention to a proposal that would bring data centers to the Potomac Technology Park if it were to move forward.  "They're going to definitely impact our quality of life, we're going to suffer through 10 to 20 years of construction, dirt, diesel equipment. There's not enough power, so that's going to affect all of the county when they have to put the new transmission lines to support the data centers," said Gainesville resident Paula Daly.
