Block Valley Link

Valley Link Transmission, a joint venture led by Dominion Energy, is pushing forward with plans for a massive 115-mile, 765 kV high-voltage power line cutting through the heart of Central Virginia—from Campbell County to Culpeper County. This infrastructure is primarily designed to feed the skyrocketing energy demands of data centers in Northern Virginia, prioritizing corporate profits over local livelihoods. Proposed routes would run through Goochland's District 1 in the western portion of the county.

​

Right now, they’re aggressively pursuing eminent domain to seize control of private land, erecting towering 160-foot structures along a 200-foot-wide right-of-way that would bulldoze forests, farms, and everything in its path. These ultra-high-voltage lines carry the capacity equivalent to six standard 345 kV lines, far exceeding what’s common in populated areas like ours.

Goochland's Technology Overlay District (TOD) and Technology Zone (TZ)

In November 2025, Goochland's Board of Supervisors voted to implement major changes to its Technology Overlay District (TOD) and Technology Zone (TZ) in Districts 4 and 5, the easternmost districts. The changes have been the subject of much controversy with residents across the county expressing opposition both before and after the changes.
