Storage Company Plans Data Center Expansion in James City County

Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, September 21, 2026 —

A storage company has announced plans to establish a small data center, repurposing a section of its current facility in James City County. The initiative aims to integrate data processing and storage capabilities directly within the company’s existing infrastructure.

Specific details regarding the storage company, such as its name and the precise location within James City County, were not provided in the summary. The scope and scale of the planned data center are described as “small,” indicating a focused operational capacity rather than a large-scale enterprise deployment. The project involves retrofitting a portion of an existing building, suggesting a strategic use of current assets rather than the construction of a new, standalone facility.

Information concerning the timeline for the establishment of this data center, any associated permits required by James City County, or the specific technological components to be utilized was not detailed. The nature of the services the data center will support, or its potential impact on the company’s operations or the local James City County community, remains unspecified at this time. Further details are anticipated as the project progresses.
