Google Botetourt Data Center Campus

planned

Google plans to develop a data center campus on a 312-acre parcel at the Botetourt Center at Greenfield in Botetourt County, Virginia. The project is expected to initially require 2 million gallons of water per day, potentially increasing to 8 million gallons daily as it grows. The company has committed to responsible water stewardship, collaborative construction, and investment in the local community and workforce. Google will pay for all infrastructure required to serve the data center's operations related to water use. The project requires approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, and local permits before construction can begin.
