What the source record says
Google data center at 42575 Arcola Blvd in the Arcola area of Loudoun County (Northern Virginia 'Data Center Alley') — the ~91-acre 'Arcola Center' parcel was purchased in 2017 for $58M (a land cost, not total capex), and the ARA1A building is operational (built 2020 per baxtel). DISTINCT from Google's tracked Chester and Midlothian (Richmond-area) Virginia campuses. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the disclosed Arcola Blvd address; a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
