BrownfieldRadford, Montgomery, Virginia · U.S. Army - Radford
Radford Army Ammunition Plant is a natural gas plant in Radford, Montgomery, Virginia, retired 2012-01-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 6 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
