Google Confirms Interest in 1,200-Megawatt Goochland Data Center Amid Local Opposition
Google is conducting due diligence on a 1,000-acre site in Goochland County for a potential 1,200-megawatt data center campus. The project falls within a recently approved technology overlay district, allowing it to proceed without public hearings. While Google confirmed its interest, local residents in neighboring Henrico County are organizing opposition due to concerns over noise, air quality, and infrastructure strain.
