Stack Infrastructure has committed to investing at least USD 73.5 billion in a data center campus at the Southern Virginia Megasite in Berry Hill, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, following unanimous approval of a local performance agreement by the Danville-Pittsylvania Regional Industrial Facility Authority.

A Landmark Agreement for Southern Virginia

The Danville-Pittsylvania Regional Industrial Facility Authority approved the local performance agreement with Stack at a Monday meeting, as reported by Virginia Business, marking what the company described as a major milestone in efforts to bring economic development to the region.

Stack has previously stated its intention to invest USD 100 billion over a period of three decades at the site, with the USD 73.5 billion figure representing the minimum investment pledge enshrined in the formal agreement. The timeline for meeting these specific commitments was not disclosed.

Alongside the capital commitment, Stack is required to create at least 2,050 jobs at the campus, with an average annual wage of USD 80,500. Should the company fail to meet its obligations, financial penalties will apply.

The county also retains the ability to adjust its property tax rate, which is currently set at USD 1.62 per USD 100 of data center equipment.

Unanimous approval of the local performance agreement marks a major milestone in the longstanding effort to bring new, community-first economic growth to the Danville-Pittsylvania area."

Economic Ripple Effects Anticipated Across the Region

Local officials have emphasized the broader economic impact anticipated from the project. Matt Rowe, Pittsylvania County's economic development director, spoke at the Monday meeting about the expected multiplier effect of direct employment at the campus.

"You anticipate a multiplier effect of seven times, which means for every job created onsite, you're looking at an additional six jobs created within the surrounding community," Rowe said.

He also underscored the financial accountability built into the arrangement, noting that the commitments are backed by real monetary consequences for non-performance.

Danville and Pittsylvania County sit on Virginia's southern border with North Carolina, approximately 45 miles north of Greensboro. The area has historically sought to attract large-scale investment to diversify its economic base.

Land Acquisition and Site Details

Stack's interest in the Southern Virginia Megasite was first made public in March 2026, when the Regional Industrial Facility Authority voted to approve the sale of land to Stack-affiliated entity SAC III Acquisition.

Under that agreement, Stack can acquire up to 2,990 acres at the megasite, at a purchase price of USD 238,000 per acre, putting the potential total land cost at approximately USD 737.8 million.

The property may be acquired in phases.

The first phase must include at least 1,000 acres and must be completed by June 2027.

All remaining phases are required to close by June 2031. The Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill encompasses a total of 3,528 acres along US Route 311.

Lithium-ion battery separator manufacturer Microporous is also developing operations within the park. A key condition attached to the broader land deal is the sourcing of 299 megawatts of grid capacity from Appalachian Power by the end of 2028.

The project's progression is reported to be contingent on securing that power supply.

Stack's Expanding Footprint Across Virginia

The Berry Hill commitment adds a significant new chapter to what is already an extensive development program for Stack Infrastructure across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The company currently lists six campuses in operation or under development in Northern Virginia, representing more than 700 megawatts of capacity spread across approximately a dozen buildings.

Stack announced plans last year for an additional 144-megawatt campus in Loudoun County, Virginia. The company is also developing a 500-acre, one-gigawatt campus in Stafford County, Virginia, and filed plans for a separate campus in Fredericksburg, Virginia, last year.

Across its global portfolio, Stack has approximately four gigawatts of capacity either in operation or under development, with a further six gigawatts in the planning stage.

The scale of the Berry Hill project, if fully realized, would represent one of the largest single data center investments committed to a specific site anywhere in the United States.

The phased land acquisition structure and the power contingency tied to Appalachian Power will determine how quickly construction activity can begin and advance across the nearly 3,000 acres that Stack is positioned to control at the megasite.
