Provider notes
Energy. Wise County Economic Development reports a 3.6MW solar array on former coal-mined land supplying the site, alongside grid supply; the county calls it Virginia's first commercial-scale solar field on reclaimed mine land.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
65,000 sq ft high-security colocation facility on 22 acres of the Lonesome Pine Regional Business & Technology Park, serving federal and state government agencies and commercial clients. Physical security includes K-rated, US Department of State certified anti-ram fencing, wedge barriers, a perimeter blast berm and 24/7 armed security; the facility holds HITRUST certification. Wise County reports it employs over 20 people and is the county's second-highest source of improved real estate tax revenue. In 2023 it installed what the county describes as Virginia's first commercial-scale solar field on previously coal-mined land, a 3.6MW array.
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.
