# Virginia Data Center Watch

> Virginia Data Center Watch (https://virginiadatacenterwatch.com) is an independent, free-to-read website that tracks data center projects in Virginia and the power lines, substations, water deals, permits and zoning decisions that come with them, locality by locality. Every fact links to a public source and is labeled as an official record, company claim, news report or third-party tracker.

- Data last updated: 2026-11-02
- Coverage: 21 projects and 99 dated public records across 15 of Virginia's 133 localities (67 records link directly to a government source). Coverage is partial; the other localities have not been audited yet.
- Sources: Board of Supervisors and City Council agendas, minutes and ordinances, DEQ air permits, SCC dockets, the Register of Regulations, General Assembly records, federal notices, company announcements and news reports.
- Free: every locality and project page and search. A free weekly email digest is planned but signups are not open yet.
- Paid plans: not open yet (proposed prices below are subject to change).
- Independent. Not affiliated with Data Center Watch or 10a Labs. Payment never buys or changes coverage.
- Contact: support@virginiadatacenterwatch.com (support, corrections); hello@virginiadatacenterwatch.com (business inquiries).
