Google data center developments in Virginia

Overview

Google is pursuing multiple data center projects across Virginia. In Roanoke County, the Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority confirmed Google as the parent company for a planned project at Wood Haven Technology Park. This development involves 94 acres of land and is expected to undergo due diligence, including environmental and engineering reviews, through March 2027. The project has faced scrutiny from the Southwest Virginia Data Center Transparency Alliance regarding transparency.

In a separate effort, Google is evaluating a 1,000-acre site within the West Creek Business Park in Goochland County. The company aims to develop a campus with a 1,200-megawatt capacity. Because the site is located within a recently approved Technology Overlay District, the facility would qualify as a “by-right use,” potentially bypassing standard public hearing processes. Google has not yet filed formal plans for this location.
