AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Data Centers: Google confirmed it is considering Roanoke County’s Wood Haven Technology Park for a data center, as Virginia lawmakers prepare bills that could halt new approvals statewide for three years starting in 2027. The proposals reflect growing concerns about power demand, water use and local impacts. Energy & Industry: The U.S. announced $50 million for grid upgrades in parts of Appalachian Power’s service area. M.C. Dean plans a $412.5 million Caroline County expansion expected to create 1,950 jobs. Research & Innovation: The FDA approved a Parkinson’s drug based on UVA research. Virginia Tech will take part in a $73 million federal initiative to advance mining technology, and NASA awarded the university $5.8 million for aircraft design and certification.**
