📰 News we're reading

• N. Va. political leaders scramble to meet evolving public sentiment on data centers (ffxnow.com) — Chantilly is now on the short list for future data center development in Fairfax County, a move local leaders say could bring revenue but also noise, visual, and infrastructure impacts. Regional officials at a recent summit warned that Northern Virginia must tighten zoning and planning rules, using Loudoun's experience as a cautionary tale before more projects land in places like Chantilly.
   

• Pickleball for good (fairfaxtimes.com) — Chantilly High School seniors are helping lead Paddles for Promise, a student-run pickleball charity that has already donated thousands to Shelter House Fairfax. Their next all-ages tournament on Oct. 17 and a low-cost adaptive pickleball camp this September invite local players to compete, meet new people, and support neighbors facing homelessness and domestic violence.
