RIRICHMOND, VA., Nov. 13, 2025 – JLL announces today that Newport Equities LLC, an affiliate of Province Group LLC, achieved re-zoning approval for a 180-acre data center campus project in Powhatan County, Va., a suburb of Richmond, Virginia.
The County Board of Supervisors approved a re-zoning application for a 60-acre data center site, which follows an earlier approval for an adjacent 120-acre property. Together, the two parcels create an 180-acre data center campus called Powhatan Technology Park. The proposed data center campus, located about 15 miles west of Richmond’s Central Business District, has multiple transmission lines on site, including 500kV, 230kV and 115kV.
“The unanimous approval from Powhatan County Board of Supervisors sends a powerful message. While other jurisdictions have pumped the brakes on data center development, Powhatan has welcomed this opportunity with open arms,” said Mark J. Kerslake, CEO of Province Group/Newport Equities LLC. “This stands out as a great example of what a strong public-private partnership can look like.”
Dominion Energy will energize the campus with an initial deployment of 365 MW. The site is approved for two-story buildings and over two million square feet of data centers. Water and sewer capacity for the site is available and served by Powhatan County.
"The visionary approach from both the County Board of Supervisors and Newport Equities positions this as one of the premier data center opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic," added Matt Gallagher, Executive Managing Director, Brokerage at JLL. "We're focused on securing innovative clients who recognize the value of this partnership, and with 180 acres of approved capacity, this campus is ideally suited to meet significant market demand."
JLL’s Matt Gallagher will lead marketing for Powhatan Technology Park. To learn more, reach out to Gallagher at Matthew.Gallagher@jll.com.
