Summary

On 31 August 2026 the Appomattox County Board of Supervisors adopted (4-1) a resolution approving a performance agreement with ADP Appomattox Data Hub, LLC, which the resolution says proposes to develop and operate data center facilities on Tax Map Parcel 63 A 80, the Appomattox Center for Business and Commerce. The agreement is a tax-based incentive and expressly confers no land-use approval. The project is announced only: no county permit, physical work, completion or operation is established, and the operator's undated claims of an approved site plan and power in 2027 are not used. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 37.37230, -78.85778
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_centroid
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_county_cadastral_parcel_centroid
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Planar centroid of Appomattox County tax parcel 63 A 80 (453.06 geodesic acres; 440.687 assessed acres; about 2.0 by 1.8 km), the parcel named in the Board resolution. It locates the whole proposed campus property, not a building, footprint or works extent.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The county publishes no positional accuracy for parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 453-acre parcel.
Geometry evidence: cbf3c5f4

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
