The record, newest first

  1. Developers said they were studying hydrogen power, with natural gas as a fallback, and held an option on 300 acres; the campus could reach eight to 10 buildings. (Virginia Business, April 29, 2026)

  2. Cardinal News reported plans for nine buildings of roughly 240,000 sq ft each, phased over about 10 years, with about 100 MW of gas generation first and 500-600 MW later. (Cardinal News, Feb. 25, 2026)

  3. Red Post Energy signed a letter of intent to design on-site gas generation for the campus. (Cardinal News, Feb. 25, 2026; Appalachian Voices, March 13, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Building count is given as nine (Cardinal News) and eight to 10 (Virginia Business).
  • The park also holds the existing Mineral Gap data center, a separate operating facility.
  • Appalachian Voices reported the project's nickname as the Maverick Project.

The full record

Status note
Early stage: the site is zoned industrial, but permits and environmental reviews are still needed and the power source was being studied.
Power note
Cardinal News reported each building would need about 50 MW and on-site gas generation would start near 100 MW and scale to 500-600 MW; no campus load figure from a record was found.
