WASHINGTON, March 9, 2026 – West Virginia secured a $4 billion private-sector investment from Penzance Management to develop the state’s first designated High Impact Intelligence Center, Gov. Patrick Morrisey (R) announced on Feb. 26.
The project, known as the Bedington Campus, will be built on 548 acres in Berkeley County’s Falling Waters District. At full buildout, the development is expected to total approximately 1.9 million square feet and deliver 600 megawatts of information technology capacity, positioning the state to support artificial intelligence, cloud computing and advanced manufacturing workloads.
State officials said the investment would create about 1,000 construction jobs and 125 permanent positions. No state funding was used for the project, according to the governor’s office.
