Who is behind it
The record, newest first
Amazon Data Services had filed a joint permit application with the Army Corps of Engineers for 11 data center buildings on about 1,143 acres in 13 parcels; public comments ran to March 15, 2025. (Virginia Business, Feb. 20, 2025; Data Center Dynamics, Feb. 2025)
Both counties approved economic incentives for the project. (Data Center Dynamics, Feb. 2025)
In June 2023 Amazon applied to rezone 158 acres off Orrock Road, adding to about 920 acres it was already developing; the project was then known as the Orrock Tech Campus. (Data Center Dynamics, Feb. 2025)
Conflicts and open questions
- The 2023 filing was reported at about 4.5 million sq ft of data center space; the 2025 permit filing gave no square footage.
- Not the same project as the denied VALCO proposal on Jericho Road (valco-jericho-road-caroline).
- No Virginia DEQ air permit for a Caroline County site appeared in DEQ's data center permit list as of Oct. 30, 2026.
