H.H. Hunt's proposal
HANOVER COUNTY, Va. -- After a failed plan for a residential project on the same site, HHHunt is back with a new type of development proposal for hundreds of acres it owns beside Wyndham: data centers.
The company, which developed Wyndham four decades ago, has filed plans for a 10-building data center campus on over 400 acres it owns or controls across the county line in Hanover, including the nearby Hunting Hawk Golf Club.

FOR SALE
Rebranded as Hunting Hawk Technology Park, HH Hunt is already looking for buyers of the 'large scale data center campus'.
A 400 acre, 10 building data center campus
If built as promoted by HHHunt, this facility will be a Hyperscale Data Center designed to support 900 megawatts of power. Fully operational, it would be the 3rd largest in the United States today by megawatts.*
This is an enormous data center with significant water usage, significant pollution, and significant noise. The Voluntary Proffer Statement** was received by Hanover County Planning Department on 8/22/25.
​
The proposed development spans 400 acres and includes up to 10 buildings totaling approximately 3.9 million square feet. The site was previously zoned for residential use but has now been submitted for rezoning to limited industrial, with additional requests for building height exceptions and accessory uses.
Numbers that matter
SAVE OUR WATER. SAVE OUR WELLS.
The water source for this proposed data center is Hanover well water
1.8B+ gallons
Water used annually
When data centers draw millions of gallons of water per day from wells, they are pulling from the same aquifer (underground water supply) that local residents use for their private wells. This can lower the water table, causing nearby residential or agricultural wells to run dry or require expensive re-drilling to greater depths.
​
The high water consumption required for cooling, estimated at over 1.8 billion gallons per year with ~80% lost to evaporation, poses a significant threat to the Chickahominy aquifer, which 410,000 Virginians depend on for their water supply.
