What the source record says
Preliminary estimate of at least 17 total DC buildings across both Louisa campuses combined; ~628 of the 1,444-acre assemblage held as open space, ~380 acres to be donated to the county for a public park. No formal local rezoning/SUP filing yet as of the cited meeting — status set to 'permitted' cautiously based on land-disturbance-adjacent county process; confirm before elevating capacity figures (3GW is a stated potential ceiling from 10 substations, not a committed buildout). Status corrected to proposed: no formal permit or site plan filed as of the Nov 2024 Planning Commission buffer/landscaping discussion (still exploratory). 'Up to 3 GW' = ten 300 MW substations (a ceiling, not permitted capacity). Public-reception check (2026-09-10): North Creek Technology Campus (NCTC) is confirmed distinct from a THIRD AWS Louisa County proposal (near Northeast Creek Reservoir/Mineral) that Amazon withdrew 2025-07-25/28 after strong resident opposition ("Please don't Loudoun Louisa... Please say no to this additional data center," per a July 2025 board-of-supervisors public-comment session). NCTC itself was one of two AWS campuses approved by-right under the county's Technology Overlay District and moved to construction without the surge of documented opposition seen on the third project. No hearing/vote record specific to NCTC was found. Checked: Virginia Business, a Louisa data-center timeline site, and a local Substack covering county supervisors' meetings.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
