Governor Ralph Northam announced Wednesday that Facebook will invest an additional $750 million to expand its data center in Henrico County.
This investment is in addition to the $1 billion investment in Henrico County that Facebook announced last year. The company will construct three new 500,000 square-foot buildings, bringing the planned total square footage to over 2.4 million square feet.
Facebook anticipates that the expanded site will support more than 200 jobs once operational, and will represent more than 1,500 construction jobs at peak. In addition, this phase will be supported by 100 percent renewable energy through the renewable energy tariff offered by Dominion Energy.
