Notes on the record

Two two-story buildings totaling 590,000 sq ft plus a substation pad of up to 8 acres. The site is 121 acres between U.S. 1 and I-95, about 2,500 ft north of Eskimo Hill Road, near the Rappahannock Regional Jail. The $2B investment is from documents submitted to the county (FOX 5), and the 64 jobs are a staff estimate. The coordinates are the jail (OSM) as a nearby reference point.

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.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
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.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
