TECfusions acquires 73 acres in Virginia for data center expansion project

On February 24, data center operator TECfusions announced that it has acquired and rezoned 73 acres of land in Clarksville, Virginia, to expand upon its flagship data center and deliver an additional 300 MW of high-density capacity.

TECfusions reports that the project involved consolidating six parcels into a single contiguous site and using a seventh parcel for affordable multi-tenant housing. The company also plans to repurpose abandoned 138kV transmission lines from a decommissioned coal plant for the expansion project.

TECfusion founder and CFO Simon Tushi said the expansion exemplifies an innovative approach to data center development.

“By reimagining underutilized assets and collaborating closely with local authorities, we’re creating a blueprint for sustainable, rapid-deployment infrastructure that meets the critical needs of our AI and HPC clients,” said Tushi in a press release.

Melissa Farney, director of marketing at TECfusions, said the expansion represents the company’s commitment to its tenants.

“We understand the dynamic nature of digital growth,” said Farney in the same press release, “and our facilities are strategically designed to offer unparalleled flexibility and scalability, ensuring our tenants can seamlessly adapt and expand their operations as they need.”

TECfusions also recently acquired 1395 acres in Upper Burrell, Pennsylvania, for its Keystone Connect data center project.
