"I was like, 'Oh, hell no,'" said Taylor Frazier McCollum, describing the moment she learned about the project. Unlike a lot of land-use activists trying to protect their homes from threats in their backyards, Frazier McCollum does not own a home. In 2024, she and her young daughter were evicted from their apartment. She was working at a waxing center that cut wages, and she could no longer cover her rent. They've moved around and were living in her grandfather's home when she learned about the proposed project less than a mile away.

But with data centers paused, some in Prince George's County worry about declining tax revenue. Last year, a local Six Flags closed. The NFL's Washington Commanders announced plans to return to neighboring Washington, D.C. Thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs. The county faces a budget deficit.

In the meantime, she's pitching plans to turn the old Landover site into a sports complex or affordable housing, or to use some of it to support heritage tourism in the county. But none of those ideas, she acknowledges, would be as lucrative as a data center campus.
