Local delegate encourages Goochland Board of Supervisors to deny data center proposal
Del. May Nivar is urging the Goochland County Board of Supervisors to deny the proposed nearly 900-acre Tuckahoe Technology Park data center campus. Nivar said she has received hundreds of emails from residents concerned about the project's massive scale and proximity to homes in Henrico County, while county officials said no formal application has been submitted.
Del. May Nivar, who represents parts of Goochland and Henrico counties in the Virginia House of Delegates, asked the Goochland County Board of Supervisors to carefully consider or deny the proposed Tuckahoe Technology Park. The planned campus would cover nearly 900 acres near Route 288, only a few miles from Henrico County homes, and Nivar said its size and location may be incompatible with nearby residential development.
Nivar said she has received hundreds of emails from residents and urged county officials to weigh community concerns during the review process. Goochland County Administrator Jeremy Raley said the Board of Supervisors had received Nivar's letter and welcomed input from residents and other stakeholders. County officials said the developer has not yet submitted the formal application required for county approval.
