Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Hanover Technology Park in Hanover 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

Operator states up to 2,400 MW across 8 substations; the site contains an existing utility transmission corridor and a natural gas pipeline.

Notes on the record

1,211 total acres in five parcels ranging from 153 to 318 acres, north of the Town of Ashland along the I-95 corridor, zoned M-1 Limited Industrial for by-right data center use with up to 110-foot building heights. Distinct from the two Tract records already tracked: the cancelled Mountain Road Technology Park (western Hanover, denied May 2026) and Tuckahoe Technology Park in Goochland. Coordinates are an approximate geocode north of Ashland, not a parcel-confirmed point. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked Tract's own project page (2026-09-10); it lists only acreage, capacity, and zoning/utility specifications with no mention of public hearings, rezoning votes, resident opposition, or support. No community-reception record found in this source.

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.

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
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.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

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.
