Roanoke County Data Center
The Proposed Roanoke County Data Center, Wood Haven Technology Park near the intersection of 81 & 581, appears to be “drawing less fire” than some of the others in the Region.
Perhaps taxpaying residents are interested in replacing the tax-base lost when GE left.
Perhaps it’s because the location does not seem a threat to most residents.
Perhaps its because Roanoke County has fewer hyper-residents.
Perhaps residents are OK with their elected representatives managing the project.
Perhaps none of the above
At any rate, it appears the project is being taken seriously by the Town Fathers who have been exploring the plusses and minuses.
Also, it appears that the local media is Not leading a “lynch-mob” but seem focused on facts and reason and a recognition of potential major tax relief and jobs in an area that needs both.

The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors heard the financial benefits of a potential data center project at Wood Haven Technology Park during its meeting Tuesday, after it was officially announced that the land was intended for data center development.
The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority — which was formed by several localities, including Roanoke County and the cities of Roanoke and Salem — voted to authorize the sale of land at the park earlier this month, and speculation spread that it was slated for a data center. On Tuesday morning, the authority confirmed that the buyer, Clearview Dynamics LLC, was evaluating the property with the intent of constructing a data center.

Wood Haven land to be developed for a data center, regional group says
https://roanoke.com/news/local/business/development/article_dd556af8-c460-407f-8c9b-084ca79388e8.html
The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority confirmed it intends for the land at the Wood Haven Technology Park to be developed into a data center Tuesday, following calls for transparency.
“It’s very early in the process,” said John Hull, the executive director of the WVRIFA. “A lot of the questions that you have and your readers will have will be defined in the due
diligence process, as a result of talking with utility partners and understanding what the capacities are and what connections are needed for the use.
“In some ways, we couldn’t be communicating any earlier about this project than we are. You might say that we could be better served to have those answers before we communicate.”
