Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 9, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Project Tallmadge in Strasburg, Shenandoah 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
Takanock told DCD the campus brings its own power via 400MW of front-of-the-meter on-site natural gas generation; the project fact sheet states natural gas turbines, described locally as capable of switching to hydrogen in future.
Takanock spokesperson told DCD the data center will use closed-loop cooling; local reporting cites an estimated ~4,000 gallons per day of water use (about 1.46 million gallons annually) with a near-waterless closed-loop chilled system.
Notes on the record
87-acre site on Borden Mowery Drive near Interstate 81 Exit 296 and the Mercury Paper plant in Strasburg's industrial park; roughly 2 million sq ft planned. Takanock develops the land and intends to sell to an as-yet-unnamed operator. Construction reported as potentially starting in late 2027 and concluding around 2030.
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
- How the community has received it
- Which utility serves 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.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
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.
