flag West Virginia launches a $4 billion data center in Falling Waters, creating jobs and boosting economy with no state funding.

flag West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced a $4 billion private data center project in Falling Waters, Berkeley County, the state’s first High Impact Intelligence Center, developed by Penzance Management. flag Spanning 548 acres and expected to cover 1.9 million square feet, the facility will deliver at least 600 megawatts of IT capacity, create about 1,000 construction jobs and 125 permanent positions, and operate under a microgrid with no state funding. flag The project, enabled by state laws streamlining permitting and allowing local grid control, will redirect tax revenue to personal income tax reductions, county funds, and infrastructure, with no disclosed tenant. flag Officials tout it as a major economic boost, though concerns remain over water use, grid strain, and local land control.
