Back in June, Neighbors For Change covered the history, impact, and status of data center proliferation in Virginia and more locally, in Eastern Henrico County. Now there’s news of a possible data center that, if built, would be adjacent to Western Henrico near Wyndham.
Richmond BizSense reported that HHHunt eyes 10-building, 400-acre data center campus beside Wyndham:
“The company, which developed Wyndham four decades ago, has filed plans for a 10-building data center campus on over 400 acres it owns or controls across the county line in Hanover, including the nearby Hunting Hawk Golf Club.
Filed with Hanover last month, the plans are HHHunt’s latest attempt to develop the site since losing a court battle with Henrico County in 2019 over a disputed connector road to Wyndham that the company said was vital for a residential development it had planned for the Hanover property.”
This news about HHHunt’s plan reveals the ongoing tension between the need to build more housing in Virginia and boost the state’s economy with businesses like data centers.
What’s next? Regarding the proposed data center, Hanover Supervisor Sue Dibble stated, “As this moves through the process, we’re going to test the waters, so to speak, with our constituents.”
