Morrisey announces $4B private investment for 500-acre Berkeley County AI campus

Patrick Morrisey announced a proposed $4 billion private investment by Penzance Management to build a large intelligence and data center campus in Berkeley County. The 500+ acre project would deliver up to 600 megawatts of power for AI and data operations and is expected to create more than 1,000 construction jobs and at least 125 permanent positions. State leaders say the development could make this a record-setting year for economic growth in West Virginia.

Officials said recent legislation that streamlines permitting and distributes tax revenue helped attract the investment. Morrisey emphasized that infrastructure costs will be covered by the private developers, not taxpayers, and said the project will address community concerns about noise, water use, and environmental impacts during planning.
