Praetorian’s Virginia Megasite Could Accommodate Data Center Development

A developer has acquired a large industrial site in Virginia that is permitted to host data centers under existing city rules, though no specific data center project or customer has been publicly identified for the property. The site is significant because the city has spent years planning its power and infrastructure needs with the local utility company in preparation for large industrial users. The city is currently developing new zoning rules and policies for data centers across the broader region, but this particular property already allows data centers under its existing development guidelines. Neither the developer nor city officials have disclosed details about a prospective tenant, power requirements, or timeline for any data center project at the site.
