Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Meta Henrico Data Center (White Oak Technology Park) in Sandston, Henrico County 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Notes on the record

Five-building 'H' campus of about 2.4 to 2.5M sq ft at full build-out, investment of over $1B (DPR), at 6200 and 7301 Technology Blvd. In 2022 a Meta-tied entity (Scout Development LLC) bought 475 acres at 3951 Portugee Road to the south for two more data centers ('Project Tropical'); the status of that expansion is not covered here. Coordinates are from the OSM feature 'Meta Henrico Data Center'.
