The record, newest first

  1. Local reporting said the project appears to meet the high-impact data center criteria but has not been announced as certified, and that county permit records showed no activity after April 2026. (The Observer (ObserverWV), Aug. 13, 2026)

  2. Local reporting identified QTS as the developer of the Kearneysville data center. (The Observer (ObserverWV), April 30, 2026)

  3. Berkeley County's Planning Commission approved a concept plan for two data center buildings, an electrical switching station, a water tank, a guard shack and stormwater ponds on a 90-acre parcel; Jefferson County's planners had not yet received plans for the 191-acre industrial parcel there. (The Observer (ObserverWV), April 7, 2025)

  4. IB10 Martinsburg LLC bought about 300 acres in three parcels from the F.O. Day Company. (The Observer (ObserverWV), April 7, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • County set to Berkeley because the approved building parcel is there; 191 acres are in Jefferson County.
  • Berkeley acreage reported as a 90-acre parcel plus an access strip (April 2025) and as 110 acres (August 2026).
  • QTS is not named as the buyer in the 2025 story, but QTS answered questions about the project and later reporting calls it QTS's Kearneysville project.
  • Approval is known from reporting; the concept plan record itself was not opened.
  • Status changed from stalled to approved on fact-check: the latest record is the concept plan approval; inactivity is noted, not a recorded block.
