Proposed in Virginia, before permits

98 datacenter applications are on file with 2 county planning systems, covering 55 million square feet and 5,362 acres. These are requests for permission to build, so they are counted separately from the 588 sites above and some will be refused or withdrawn. Any application on a site we already track as built or building is excluded, so the two counts can be added.
