Google Evaluates Wood Haven Site for New Virginia Data Center

Google is evaluating the Wood Haven Technology Park in Roanoke County, Virginia, for the construction of a new data center. The project, which was previously identified under the name Clearview Dynamics, has entered a due diligence and inspection phase that is expected to last through March 2027.

Regional public affairs manager Clay Allsop stated that the company is committed to being a long-term partner in the Roanoke Region, citing its previous data center project in Botetourt County as evidence of its experience building responsibly in the community.

The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority is partnering with the technology company to facilitate the evaluation. Executive director John Hull described the potential project as a transformative investment that could strengthen the regional tax base and support local job growth.
