  1. July 17, 2026
    Proposed
    CONFIRMS the s40 refutation: the candidate 'Mattameade (Spotsylvania)' is NOT a new facility, it is the SAME AWS campus as the tracked aws-mattermeade-caroline-va, which by design bifurcates BOTH Spotsylvania and Caroline counties (1,078-1,143 acres, ~4.5M sq ft). 'Orrock Tech Campus' is AWS's working name for the SAME project: ~920 acres of data centers in Caroline + ~158 acres off Orrock Rd in Source: Data Center Frontier
  2. February 2025
    Proposed
    Amazon filed for Army Corps permits for the 11-building 'Mattermeade' campus (1,143 acres across Caroline & Spotsylvania counties, SE of I-95 & Mudd Tavern Rd); public comment through March 2025 Source: Data Center Dynamics

Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of July 25, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over AWS Mattermeade Tech Campus in Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Notes on the record

1,143 acres across Caroline & Spotsylvania counties, SE of the I-95 / Mudd Tavern Rd interchange; 11 two-story data center buildings plus an office. Amazon is 'seeking to develop a minimum of 770 MW by 2027'. Recorded as proposed (federal permit application filed / public-comment stage as of early 2025). Coordinates are the Bowling Green / Woodford area centroid.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
