Eastern Panhandle United

Some of the largest industrial projects ever proposed in the Eastern Panhandle are moving forward, and much of what governs them never reaches a public agenda.

This site collects what has actually been filed, recorded, or said on the record about data center development in Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan Counties — and is equally clear about what has not been disclosed. We are not here to tell you what to think about data centers. We are here to provide objectiv that you are not finding out after the fact.
