Wright said the state has a shortage of data centers, and Northern Virginia is so overloaded with data transmissions it would be faster for companies in the northern part of the state to store data here because of the Mid-Atlantic Broadband network.“We can move data to and from DC faster than companies in the corridor,” Wright said.
