Summary
Big money is pouring into West Virginia as Starwood Digital Ventures unveils a $12 billion data center project, Project Tamarack, near West Columbia. Backed by Governor Morrisey and built on new state legislation, the venture promises local hiring, college partnerships, and zero impact on electricity rates—thanks to Starwood footing infrastructure costs and using eco-friendly cooling. Not to be outdone, Nscale’s Monarch Campus and AI giant Anthropic are also eyeing Mason County, with Anthropic reportedly eyeing a $45 billion lease. This tech boom could transform the region’s economy—and it’s all happening right here in West Virginia. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
