Virginia Tightens Data Center Rules | Virginia Beach News
Governor Abigail Spanberger just dropped a major move: an executive order ending secret deals for data centers, launching an AI task force, and enforcing tougher environmental rules. Now, any data center over 25 megawatts needs local approval — no more “quick sign-offs.” It’s a clear message: build responsibly or don’t build at all. While lawmakers have long called for regulation — and some cities like Chesapeake and Virginia Beach already imposed their own limits — this order finally catches up to the growing demand for accountability. Still, critics say it doesn’t touch tax breaks, and the state Senate is already diving into deeper policy reviews. The fight for responsible growth isn’t over — it’s just getting more structured.

Williamsburg Tourism Through Summer’s Swings | Virginia Beach News
Williamsburg kicked off summer with a bang—June and July drew huge crowds, especially for the Fourth of July festivities celebrating America’s 250th birthday, which welcomed over 70,000 visitors. A “Today” show feature also sparked renewed interest in the Historic Triangle. But August’s brutal heat wave hit hard: outdoor attractions shuttered more often, and even water parks couldn’t save theme parks like Busch Gardens from visitor drops. The early school start—local districts returning two weeks before Labor Day—further dampened business, particularly restaurants, as families geared up for the new school year. Still, tourism leaders are upbeat about fall, betting on events like the Williamsburg Pancake Festival and Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream to pull in crowds. Plus, the dedication of the African Baptist Meeting House and Colonial Williamsburg’s 100th anniversary celebrations in November promise a festive, packed season ahead.

Chesapeake Voters Weigh Key Issues | Virginia Beach News
Early voting is in full swing in Chesapeake, with voters weighing a mix of economic anxiety, national politics, and local priorities. Inflation and the cost of living top the list for many, while the tight race for Virginia’s 2nd congressional district and three key constitutional amendments—on reproductive rights, marriage equality, and restoring voting rights—ignite passionate debate. Residents like Steven Radcliffe are motivated by social justice issues and rapid urban growth, while others, like Marcella Boothe, prioritize education. Foreign policy concerns, including the Iran conflict and trade tariffs, also shape ballots. With early voting ending October 30, voters are making consequential choices across the spectrum.
