STACK Infrastructure data center campus at Berry Hill megasite
Also called: Berry Hill Data Center, Southern Virginia Megasite at Berry Hill
STACK Infrastructure plans a huge AI data center campus on nearly 3,000 acres at the Berry Hill megasite west of Danville. The company talks about $100 billion over 30 years and 2,500 jobs. Some residents asked for more public input first.
Where things stand: County supervisors backed the plan in July 2026. STACK bought most of the megasite; full build-out could take 15 to 30 years.
🕒 Latest update (July 21, 2026): Pittsylvania County supervisors passed a resolution supporting the data center campus.
