@nbcwashington: Residents of a Northern Virginia neighborhood say a data center just steps from their backyards cuts into their quality of life with too much noise and light pollution. Those residents on Cocquina Drive in Reston say the company CoreSite’s data center expansion near Fairfax County Parkway has been an issue over the past 10 years. Video taken from a neighbor's backyard shows bright lights from the data center at night. It even peaks through blackout curtains, residents said. CoreSite broke ground on the building more than 10 years ago, and since then, neighbors say, the construction has led to quality-of-life issues. News4 reached out to CoreSite and awaits a response. #datacenter #datacenters #washingtondc #maryland #virginia #pgcounty #dc #districtofcolumbia #dmv #northernvirginia #alexandriava #northernva #arlingtonva #fairfaxcounty #nova #md #mocomd #pgcountymd

My actual bill - I’m three exits from Fairfax county parkway. They’ve doubled under Spanberger.

are you able to provide the work permit and what the tolerance for noise level is? if its above the acceptable limit than they need to remedy it.
