New data center plans fuel fights in Goochland, Henrico, Chesterfield

Google is eyeing a massive 1,000-acre data center campus in Goochland as residents across the Richmond region push back against projects they fear they have little power to stop. Why it matters: The backlash is crossing county lines, with Henrico residents even pressing their own elected officials to intervene in Goochland's development decisions. Driving the news: A series of developments last week — from heated public meetings to newly disclosed plans and proposed zoning changes — fueled the growing tensions. The latest: Google's interest in Goochland's West Creek Business Park became public last week after the company and county agreed to lift an NDA dating to January 2024. The site has allowed data centers without new public zoning hearings since 1987. Meanwhile in Chesterfield: Hundreds of residents attended a contentious forum Tuesday , pressing Google, Dominion Energy and other industry representatives about transparency, electricity costs and environmental impacts. Google said it would limit its use of NDAs, following criticism over secrecy, while officials pledged continued community engagement . Along the Henrico-Goochland border: Henrico residents are fighting at least four proposed data centers in neighboring Goochland, including a nearly 900-acre campus along Patterson. They're concerned about pollution, noise and their limited

Election Day 2026: Live updates

Virginians approve reproductive rights constitutional amendment, enshrine access to abortions By Charlotte Rene Woods - Tuesday November 3, 2026 10:04 pm By 10 p.m. Tuesday, more than 61% of Virginia voters approved enshrining reproductive rights into the state’s constitution, opting to permanently protect contraception, fertility treatments and abortion access. The amendment was one of the most contentious issues of the 2026 campaign cycle, with lawmakers, healthcare professionals, advocates and the public at odds over the measure. The Associated Press declared that it had been approved by a majority of voters at 9:01 p.m. Virginians for Reproductive Freedom, the leading group advocating for the amendment’s passage, celebrated the outcome Tuesday evening in Richmond. “Never again will our reproductive rights be a political football in Virginia,” said Han Jones, campaign manager for VFR, the coalition of advocacy organizations that spearheaded outreach about the amendment. “It takes multi-year concerted work, but as you can see in Virginia, it’s paying off,” Jones added at a victory party organized by the group in Richmond. Supporters celebrated the news with shouts of joy and dancing. The amendment passed the General Assembly for two years in a row to qualify for the ballot. Proponents had sought the
