## Resource

Starwood Digital Ventures is set to build a $12 billion data center in West Virginia’s Mason County, codenamed “Project Tamarack,” with Governor Patrick Morrisey backing the initiative at the state chamber summit. The project promises over 1,000 construction jobs and 300 permanent roles, while guaranteeing no rise in electricity bills for residents and using an eco-friendly closed-loop cooling system. CEO Anthony Balestrieri pledged community-focused development, including a new Community Advisory Group made up of local leaders to ensure ongoing input — positioning this as a major tech investment with strong local ties and environmental responsibility.
