How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.

Appalachian Voices reports Wise County residents learned of the project in late 2025 through a LinkedIn post rather than official county channels and raised transparency concerns; as of early March 2026 no additional public information was available. Appalachian Voices opposes the gas approach and advocates renewables instead, citing the solar array serving the nearby Mineral Gap data center.

Power and water

To be served by the phased Maverick Project developed by Red Post Energy Group. Red Post Energy's December 2025 announcement (PR Newswire) describes the project site as having "a planned capacity of up to 600 megawatts (MW), with an initial development phase of approximately 100 MW", with onsite natural gas-fired generation among the power supply options to be evaluated. Virginia Business (April 2026) reports that Red Post Energy is studying whether powering the project with hydrogen is feasible. Because 600 MW is a planned ceiling, no on-site generation figure is recorded.

Notes on the record

Phased technology/data-center hub planned over ~10 years at the Lonesome Pine Regional Business & Technology Park (adjacent to Lonesome Pine Regional Airport) on former mined land in Wise County, a multi-tenant cluster co-located with the existing Mineral Gap data center. Developer Wise Innovation Hub Venture LLC (branded 'OASIS') signed a 2025-12-18 LOI with Red Post Energy for dedicated power. As of July 2026, named end-users had not been disclosed. Cardinal News (February 2026) reports nine data-center buildings of about 240,000 sq ft each, each needing about 50 MW of power, with on-site gas generation that could scale to 500 or 600 MW. As of October 2026, no cited source states a total data-center capacity, so none is recorded.

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.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
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.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
