Despite Virginia having a high concentration of data centers, the Charlottesville and Albemarle County areas have few proposed sites. This is partly due to a lack of favorable conditions and the county's responsible zoning approach requiring a public process for larger data centers. However, the University of Virginia is developing a new data center, and major projects by EdgeCore and Amazon are underway in nearby Louisa County.
