Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    Announced February 26, 2026 by Governor Morrisey; designated West Virginia's first High Impact Intelligence Center (enabling bypass of certain local zoning constraints); site preparation underway as of March 2026. No state funding involved.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Falling Waters District, Berkeley County WV eastern panhandle — adjacent to Maryland border. 1.9 million sq ft at full buildout. Penzance (DC/NoVA developer) is also developing a Fairfax County VA campus reportedly pre-leased to Amazon. Coordinates approximate for Falling Waters area. As of 2026-09-10, status was unchanged (proposed). The most recent coverage found (wvgazettemail article, published 2026-02-28, updated 2026-09-04) reports no groundbreaking, permit, or construction start yet; a tenant announcement was still described as pending later in 2026. The street address remains unresolved: governor.wv.gov, WV Division of Economic Development, SEDC, and county/trade press coverage all describe only '548 acres in the Falling Waters District of Berkeley County' with no house number or parcel ID; Berkeley County GIS/assessor records could not be reached as of September 2026, so no street address is recorded rather than one approximated. As of 2026-09-10 the Governor's office states explicitly that no state funding was used for Bedington Campus. HB 2014's revenue-sharing formula (50% Personal Income Tax Reduction Fund / 30% host county / 10% all counties per capita / 5% Electric Grid Stabilization and Security Fund / 5% Economic Enhancement Grant Program) is a distribution of the taxes the facility itself will generate, not an incentive granted to the facility, so it is not recorded as a subsidy. As of September 2026, no county-level PILOT or abatement agreement was found in the sources checked (governor.wv.gov, WV DED, SEDC).

Governor described project as 'likely' grid-connected via existing electric utilities
