| RICHMOND, VA – Today, Governor Youngkin announced plans by EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure to invest more than $17 billion in Louisa County through the development of a high-tech data center campus. The investment brings the total capital expenditures for new business location and expansion in the Commonwealth to $121 billion since the start of his term.
“Virginia is the world capital for the infrastructure on which the internet and the entire global economy runs. From the spine of the internet running through Ashburn to the transatlantic cables that connect in Virginia Beach, the entire Commonwealth is engaged in supporting the technology which runs the world. We are proud to welcome Edgecore to Central Virginia where their $17 billion investment will create jobs and fund vital public resources,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin. |

Sprawling data centers taking up more than 650 acres in Virginia’s prime farmland are not good usages of limited resources to accomodate Richmond and Washington. A similar plan south of Winchester was recently discussed and rightly rejected by the local governing body. Keep these “centers” out of rural Virginia.

I love hearing about business growth in Va. Next, please announce where the power is going to come from for yet another Data Center. Get some SMR’s licensed, and get some real growth going.
