Data Centers to Fund West Virginia Schools | Charleston News

West Virginia’s state treasurer just dropped a blockbuster report revealing how two giant data center projects—Penzance’s $10 billion Berkeley County hub and Google’s $7 billion Putnam County operation—could pump over $100 million in annual taxes into the state. With new tax law HB 2014 reshaping how these high-impact developments are funded, the treasurer’s goal is clear: empower local communities with hard numbers so they can shape how that money benefits schools, infrastructure, and residents. Berkeley County could see $10M+ for its commission and $28M for schools; Putnam County might get $8M+ for its commission and $17M for schools—with extra funds going toward income tax relief and other counties. As these massive investments drive economic growth, the message is simple: keep citizens’ needs front and center as West Virginia balances progress with purpose.
