Power and water

430-acre, ~900MW campus (per DCD planning-commission coverage) rejected by Hanover County Board of Supervisors 4-3 on May 29, 2026. Power plan was a standard Dominion Energy grid interconnection, with Dominion anticipating first electrical service in late 2029; no on-site generation or PPA disclosed.

Estimated 600,000 to 2,000,000 gallons/day; Hanover relies on the City of Richmond for water.

Notes on the record

Tract (with Marchetti Properties, via Valco Hanover County 4 LLC) sought to rezone ~427 acres from A1 Agricultural to M1 at 13074 Mountain Road / 12517 Winns Church Road (US Route 33) on the Hanover-Henrico line near the Chickahominy River, five data center buildings, up to three substations, hundreds of MW of demand. Aligned with Hanover's Route 33 Gateway Small Area Plan. Distinct from Tract's Tuckahoe Technology Park in Goochland County. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the Route 33 / Mountain Road corridor in western Hanover near the Henrico line.

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
  • Permanent jobs promised
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.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.

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.
