   Announced. Because Wythe County has no zoning ordinance, the project does not require rezoning approval, but will need local building permits and state environmental permits. Source: US Data Center Projects

Opposition and litigation at this site

Not that we can document. Local officials or residents have expressed public support for TAC Data Centers Wythe County Campus in Wythe County, Virginia, and no opposition, petition, or lawsuit appears in the sources this registry tracks as of September 10, 2026. Wythe County Administrator Stephen Bear welcomed the TAC project for its tax-revenue benefit; TAC's general counsel framed the campus as designed to minimize traffic/visual/noise/water impact.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: supported means local officials or residents have expressed public support and no opposition is documented.

Wythe County Administrator Stephen Bear welcomed the TAC project for its tax-revenue benefit; TAC's general counsel framed the campus as designed to minimize traffic/visual/noise/water impact. Wythe County has no zoning ordinance, so TAC needs only building and state environmental permits (no rezoning hearing). IMPORTANT CONTEXT: the same article reports organized resident opposition (water/electricity use, air pollution, noise, visual impact) to a DIFFERENT, separate data center proposal in the same county (Solis Arx, not in our facility dataset), which is what is now driving the county to draft its first zoning ordinance. TAC itself was not the target of that opposition per this source.

Power and water

Developer states the campus will use 'a small fraction of the water consumed by older data center facilities', with cooling 'specifically engineered to limit demand on local water resources'. No measured figure published.

Notes on the record

Nine to eleven buildings totalling 3.5 to 4 million sq ft on roughly 1,000 acres owned by the Rogg Partnership, just southeast of I-81 about 10 miles east of Wytheville near the Pulaski County line. Distinct from the already-tracked Solis Arx Progress Park campus, which is a 99-acre lot inside Wythe County's Progress Park under a different developer and landowner. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the described area, not a parcel-confirmed point.

Other sites within 30 miles

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.
