Conflicts and open questions
- The lead listed this under Chesterfield. The reported address is in Petersburg city.
- Under the 100-acre threshold and MW not stated. Kept because the conceptual plan's 300 MW substation suggests a large load, but treat its scope as unconfirmed.
- Menlo's site markets it as a 'coming soon' Richmond data center, according to BizSense. Menlo's page was not opened.
- Coordinates are approximate, placed from the reported Jamestown Drive address in southeast Petersburg.
