Homeowner Faces Loss of One‑Third of Property to Data Center Power Line Installation

A homeowner in the Washington area could lose roughly one‑third of her property. The loss is due to the installation of a high‑voltage power line serving a nearby data center. Utility planners have identified her land as the most direct route for the line. The proposed line would run across the property, affecting gardens and structures. Residents have expressed concern over the impact on property value and livability. Local officials are reviewing the project and possible compensation options. The case highlights tensions between data‑center expansion and community rights. Further hearings are scheduled to determine the final route and mitigation measures.
