Google is preparing to host a public open house in Botetourt County, Virginia, for residents to learn more about its proposed data center campus. The event, scheduled for Wednesday at Lord Botetourt High School in Daleville, will feature both county staff and Google experts who will discuss crucial aspects of the project, including its potential impact on water use, local revenue, and power infrastructure.
This informational session follows previous public engagement, notably a rally held by opponents outside the high school in May during a public hearing on the county's budget. Google acquired 312 acres at the Botetourt Center at Greenfield business park for the data center development.
