Provider notes
Community. Same June 24, 2026 packed Chesterfield Board of Supervisors meeting covering all three Google projects (Peanut, Skye, Loch; $9B combined); zero speakers voiced support, residents demanded transparency and are organizing for continued engagement as further proposals advance.
What the source record says
887-acre parcel spanning Genito/Moseley/Duval Rds. Part of Google's 3-campus $9B Chesterfield County trio, alongside Project Peanut and Project Loch. Distinct from the separately tracked Project Loch (750 Watkins Centre Pkwy, 221 ac).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

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.
