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 (up to 600 MW; hydrogen preferred, natural gas fallback) developed by Red Post Energy Group.
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; compute capacity and named end-users not yet disclosed, so capacity is omitted.
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
- Land area
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.
- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
