Tuckahoe Tech Park Sparks Local Debate | Richmond News

A massive new tech campus, the Tuckahoe Technology Park, is stirring controversy in Goochland County, Virginia. Spanning 871 acres with 12 buildings and demanding 900 megawatts of power—70x more than the county’s households use—it’s already raising alarms. Though developer Tract hasn’t filed official plans yet, revised water use cuts and a projected 2030–2032 substation timeline offer some reassurance. Protesters, including 100 in red shirts outside Goochland High School, fear impacts on water, power, noise, and property values, while a school-hosted listening session gave residents a chance to hear the developer’s pitch. The project promises 1,200 construction and 350 permanent jobs—but for many locals, the scale and strain on local resources outweigh the economic promise. With no public hearing scheduled, the debate over growth vs. community impact is just beginning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
