West Virginia Secures $4 Billion Investment for First High Impact Intelligence Center
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Governor Patrick Morrisey announced a $4 billion investment by Penzance Management for West Virginia's first High Impact Intelligence Center in Berkeley County. The Bedington Campus will occupy 548 acres and provide 600 megawatts of IT capacity, expected to generate around 1,000 construction jobs and 125 permanent positions.
The project is entirely privately funded and aims to enhance local infrastructure. It qualifies for the High Impact Intelligence Center designation due to exceeding energy load requirements. The investment aligns with state legislation promoting energy use and development for data centers.
