Diversified Capital Martin Farm data center (Hagerstown annexation)
Hagerstown, Washington County, MD
A new data center, Diversified Capital Martin Farm data center (Hagerstown annexation), has been announced in Hagerstown, MD. Rumored / unconfirmed: Diversified Capital filed June 30, 2026 to annex the Martin Farm parcel into the City of Hagerstown, the same day Washington County adopted a 12-month data center moratorium for unincorporated areas; county commissioners signed NDAs on the land deal in Dec 2025 and 2024 listings marketed the site as 'ideal for a data center.' Residents protested Sept 15, 2026; the county says no data center has been approved, and the city is weighing the annexation to expand its tax base. (Source dated 2026-09-18.).
