TAC Data Centers plans nine to 11 single-story buildings southeast of Interstate 81 at exit 86, about 10 miles east of Wytheville. The site runs east to the Pulaski County line. TAC chose it for its highway access and the 765 kV transmission lines that cross it. TAC expects the first half of the campus online in 2029 and the second half by 2031 or 2032.
Wythe County has no zoning ordinance, so the project needs no rezoning. The county is drafting its first ordinance. The campus still needs local building permits and state environmental permits. TAC plans diesel backup generators for emergencies and testing. It expects 150 to 200 permanent jobs and several thousand construction jobs.
