CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Setting aside intense opposition from local residents and leaders, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has approved an air quality permit application for what is expected to be a gas turbine-powered data center operation in Tucker County.
The DEP late Friday afternoon announced its finding the facility proposed by Purcellville, Virginia-based Fundamental Data LLC would meet all state and federal air quality regulations, acknowledging in a final determination document that most of the 1,623 public comments it received opposed permit issuance.
