Description

Description

At least six out-of-state developers have proposed massive data center complexes across West Virginia. These hyperscale data centers are state-designated and may include their own power generation such as diesel fuel storage, natural gas-powered electric plants, and nuclear plants. The projects are exempt from local city and county ordinances including zoning, lighting, and noise regulations, and the majority of tax revenue from these projects goes to the state rather than local communities.
