A Kansas-based company, Diode Ventures, is proposing to build a large data center called Roxbury Technology Park on 515 acres in northwest Charles City County.
The county planning commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing and consider a rezoning request for the project on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the government administration building.
If approved, the data center could generate 800-1,200 construction jobs and 50-100 permanent jobs, providing significant tax revenue for the county.
Residents have raised concerns about potential impacts including water use, noise, traffic, and consistency with land use.
County staff are recommending approval of the project, which would then go to the Board of Supervisors for a final vote.
