What the source record says
Site plans depict six buildings of equal size (LYH03-01 through -08 building series referenced in reporting). Filed as an addition to Microsoft's Southern Virginia Regional Network Group due to capacity growth. USACE public notice establishes this as a real, government-docketed wetlands/streams impact permit application, not mere rumor. Mecklenburg County also has separate/adjacent Microsoft filings for a 132-acre Tunstall Road site and a 259-acre Lakeside Commerce Park parcel and a reported 490-acre expansion adjacent to 'AVC17' — those may represent additional distinct sites but could not be individually confirmed to primary-source case numbers this session; flagged for a future pass rather than included speculatively. Coordinates are Boydton, VA town-centroid (approximate); exact Skipwith/Butler Farm Road intersection not independently geocoded this session.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
