Three data centres and three substations are what Google has asked federal permission to build in Chesterfield County, Virginia, under an Army Corps of Engineers public notice issued on 13 May 2026. The ground lies west of Route 288 and south of US Route 60, east of Tomahawk Creek and north-east of Old Hundred Road, taking a Midlothian postal address; Aeris Investments LLC assembled it. Google's own locations index carries Chesterfield County as in development, and the county forms one leg of a $9 billion Virginia commitment running through 2026. The permit review covers wetlands, stream crossings and the possibility of unmarked graves. Loch is one of three Google schemes in the county, alongside Projects Peanut and Skye, together covering roughly 1,500 acres.
