Why these Wyndham residents oppose proposed 400-acre data center campus near their community
Table of Contents
Residents of the Wyndham community are speaking out against plans for a massive data center campus that would be built just feet from their neighborhood, citing concerns about noise, environmental impact and health risks.
The project, proposed by real estate company HHHunt, is called the Hunting Hawk Technology Center. It would be built on about 400 acres of property in Hanover County, adjacent to the Wyndham community in nearby Henrico County.
The proposal requires rezoning the area to develop a 10-building data center that could support 900 megawatts of power.
On Monday night, the Wyndham Board of Directors and a Smart Development Task Force comprised of community members gathered at Shady Grove Elementary to discuss concerns with residents from both counties.
The most prevalent concerns include light pollution and noise generated by the data center, as well as health and environmental impacts to residential areas near the Chickahominy River.
