“Thanks to companies like Vantage, Virginia is leading the world into a future powered by the limitless possibilities of artificial intelligence,” Governor Glenn Youngkin announced. “With this $2 billion in investment, Vantage is paving the way for a stronger Stafford County and a stronger Virginia. This project reflects our commitment to innovation, job creation, and economic growth — and it’s another example of how Virginia is winning for families and businesses alike.”
“Fredericksburg offered a significant opportunity for Vantage to serve our customers seeking capacity and access to the resources of Data Center Alley,” Vantage Data Centers North America President Dana Adams said. “The region’s proximity to major metros, access to robust infrastructure, and growing technology ecosystem make it an ideal location to meet skyrocketing demand.”
The project, named VA4, will establish a 929,000-square-foot campus on 82 acres in Stafford County, comprising three data centers. Once complete, it will bring 50 new jobs to the Commonwealth and expand Vantage’s total statewide capacity to 782 megawatts with a cumulative $8 billion investment. The campus will meet LEED Silver certification standards and utilize advanced, sustainable cooling systems designed to minimize water use. Construction of the first building is scheduled to be completed in late 2027.
