Scope and capacity
On September 29, 2026, King George County announced an agreement recognizing AWS’s vested development rights for the planned $6 billion Birchwood campus, with a binding commitment excluding data-center buildings from river-adjacent land. This is a development-rights settlement, not a construction-completion announcement. Birchwood is an Amazon Web Services campus planned in King George County, Virginia. County records describe a three-phase development with 19 buildings and six substations, while a performance agreement contemplates AWS investment across Birchwood and nearby Sealston properties through 2040. The records do not establish the tracked 2.175 GW as operating or contracted IT capacity, and the construction schedule remains uncertain. Cartis therefore keeps the existing identity but withholds the headline while monitoring permits, utility delivery and phase status.
