Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of August 27, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Google Botetourt Center at Greenfield Data Center Campus in Daleville, Botetourt 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.

Power and water
Google announced in July 2026 that the first of three planned buildings will use air cooling. Its water service agreement with the Western Virginia Water Authority 'currently provides for an initial 2 million gallons per day'; the authority also explored a larger pipe capable of up to 8 MGD in future.
Notes on the record
Google purchased approximately 312 acres for $14,055,406 in June 2025 and committed a further $4 million in grants to county initiatives over five years, a land-and-grant figure, not a disclosed facility capex, so investmentUsd is intentionally omitted. Three data center buildings are planned in the Botetourt Center at Greenfield, the only site in the county zoned for data centers. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the Greenfield industrial park near Daleville, not a parcel-confirmed point.
