Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of August 27, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over EdgeCore Culpeper Data Center Campus in Culpeper, Culpeper 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.

Power and water

Initial power delivery expected in early 2028.

Air-cooled, closed-loop system; operator states a water usage effectiveness rating below 0.01 L/kWh.

Notes on the record

120 acres inside the 690-acre Culpeper Technology Zone, about 60 miles from Ashburn. capacityMw.planned records the initial 216 MW critical IT load; the 432 MW figure is a potential expansion, not a committed build. Distinct from the already-tracked Red Ace Data Center in Culpeper County (different operator and site) and from EdgeCore's tracked Shannon Hill campus in Louisa County. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the Culpeper Technology Zone.

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.

  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
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.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

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.
