$2B Investment In Fredericksburg Campus By Vantage Data Centers

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Vantage Data Centers plans to invest $2 billion to build a new, state-of-the-art data center campus on an 82-acre site in Stafford County, according to release.

The VA4 project is expected to create 1,100 construction jobs and 50 permanent jobs, once the facility is operational. The campus will consist of three data centers, totaling approximately 929,000 square feet with a capacity of 192MW.

“The Fredericksburg region offered a significant opportunity for Vantage to serve our customers seeking capacity and access to the resources of Data Center Alley without being in the high congestion zone,” said Dana Adams, president, North America at Vantage Data Centers. “Virginia has been a cornerstone of Vantage’s North American growth since we first entered the market in 2017, and we’re pleased to expand our presence to the Fredericksburg region—helping establish it as a meaningful digital hub while contributing to the area’s economic growth and technological advancements.”

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) credited companies like Vantage for helping Virginia to remain a leader in powering artificial intelligence.

“With this $2 billion in investment, Vantage is paving the way for a stronger Stafford County and a stronger Virginia," he said. "This project reflects our commitment to innovation, job creation, and economic growth — and it’s another example of how Virginia is winning for families and businesses alike.”

On Wednesday, Vantage and construction partner DPR Construction hosted a groundbreaking ceremony that included Virginia Deputy Secretary of Commerce and Trade Luis Lopez Stipes; Supervisor Meg Bohmke (R-Falmouth) and Don Slaiman, the director of community relations at IBEW Local 26, in attendance.

“Vantage Data Centers will create hundreds of jobs and support Stafford’s growing reputation as a technology hub across the Commonwealth,” said Supervisor Darrell English, (R-Hartwood). “This project brings advanced infrastructure that powers the technologies we rely on more and more every day, while strengthening our local economy and business community.”
