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.⁠
