“Protect Southern Maryland: Stop Uncontrolled Data Center Development in Calvert & St. Mary’s”

Southern Maryland’s rural communities are at risk from large-scale data center development that could dramatically increase demand on our power grid, water supply, and infrastructure.

These projects can transform farmland and rural areas into industrial zones while providing limited local benefit.

Residents of Calvert County deserve transparency, local control, and responsible planning before projects of this scale move forward.

We call on state and local leaders to:

• Require full environmental and infrastructure impact studies
• Protect farmland and rural zoning
• Ensure local communities have a voice before approval
• Prevent unchecked industrial expansion in rural areas

If you believe Southern Maryland should protect its farmland, resources, and quality of life, sign this petition and stand with your neighbors.
