12.A) Special Use Permit #SUP2025-00009, Vint Hill Substation - Brentsville Magisterial District - Micah Modesto, Planning - Mobility, Economic Growth, and Resiliency
I oppose the proposed power lines and substation in Bristow. My family moved here in 2021 because of the area's beautiful green spaces, peaceful trails, and family-friendly atmosphere. This project would require tree clearing, impact wildlife habitats, create visual and noise pollution, and permanently change the character of our community. I urge decision-makers to explore alternatives that better protect our environment, quality of life, and property values. Please, vote NO!
This industrial building does not belong next to homes and schools. Dominion has failed to answer any specifics about this project. Supervisors- VOTE NO! Thank you
Braemar residents oppose the proposed Vint Hill Substation expansion because it places major high-voltage infrastructure too close to established neighborhoods without adequate answers on noise, visual impacts, safety, property values, buffering, or long-term effects. Prince William County and Dominion should fully evaluate alternatives and protect residents, schools, open space, and quality of life and strongly urge the board to vote NO on Special Use Permit #SUP2025-00009.
My family moved to the Braemar community in 2022. We are greatly concerned about the high industrialization of Prince William due to data centers and their adjacent infrastructure. Between this proposed substation and Dominion's proposed Blue Line, the potential damage to quality of life in the immediate Braemar area is potentially incalculable. From all appearances this community is almost unilaterally opposed to these projects. I strongly urge all board members to vote NO on this substation.
As a parent of 2 young children and a homeowner in this community, I am deeply concerned about this giant major electrical substation next to our schools. Our children deserve a school environment focused on learning, recreation, and well-being, not one dominated by industrial infrastructure. Even if the project meets regulatory requirements, the proximity to schools raises concerns for many families. I urge the Board to vote NO.
I respectfully implore you to vote NO. I don't have the words to convey how strongly I oppose this special use permit. Please protect our environment, our dwindling wildlife, our families, our health and our quality of life. I trust that you, as our elected representatives, will do the right thing and vote NO. I trust that you are in tune with your constituents who are begging you to represent the wishes of the majority to preserve our community.
My family has been part of Braemar for 11 years. We ask that you vote no to the expansion project and special permit. We cherish our community and want to preserve our area, keeping it safe and protected for our children.
I opposed this since it will negatively impact me, my family, and my neighborhood. It will ruin the nature that we walk through, lower the value of our home, and endanger the health of our entire community that lives by these electrical wires each day. VA needs to take a step back from building data centers, remove the tax breaks they are receiving, remove the non-disclosure agreements that companies make with politicians, and work to keep these wires away from our children's schools.
Vote no! We bought our property in part because of the beautiful nature and community. This substation would negatively affect our community, family, property values, and natural spaces. The playground my son and his friends play at to would be ripped up. This would negatively affect our quality of life.
Please vote NO on the Vint Hill substation! I moved to Braemar 22 years ago because of the beautiful location. This substation will destroy the beauty of our neighborhood, hinder wildlife, damage the environment, and bring down our home values. This community does not want it! I strongly oppose!
Please vote NO! As a resident and homeowner in the Braemar community, I am strongly opposed to the location of this substation. The close proximity to our homes, schools and outdoor spaces will negatively impact our quality of life now and in the future.
Please vote no! We do not want this!
