POWHATAN COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors approved a $2.7 billion data center on Monday, Oct. 28. It's going to be a five-year building project across nearly 120 acres off Page Road.    Supporters say the center --which will be a storage place for data -- could bring in up to 200 jobs and $17 million in taxes to the county by 2034. It’s unclear specifically what data will be stored there, but the county described it as a server hub for data processing and storage for streaming services and web hosting.    Not all Powhatan County supervisors were on board with the project, though. It was approved in a three-to-two vote Monday night after the Powhatan Planning Commission recommended not approving the center.    Some residents and board members shared their concerns that the reward isn’t going to outweigh the risk of having such an expensive and big facility. District Three representative Bob Powers recognized that, but voted in support of the center.   "There is risk, absolutely there’s risk," he said during the meeting. "But the reward significantly outweighs the risk, so I will be in support of the motion.”   During the meeting, District Two representative and Chairman Steve McClung recalled when they were voting on a Walmart coming to town. He said people tried to fight it at the time, but now everyone uses the Walmart. Supporters said they are hoping non-supporters will have the same turnaround when it comes to the data center.
