Reliable Tax Revenue for Dinwiddie County

Independent tax analysis prepared by EY evaluates the long-term tax revenue potential of Haven Oak Technology Park under current real property, business personal property, and sales and use tax frameworks.

While final revenues will depend on actual buildout and equipment investment, the analysis indicates that a project of this scale could generate:

  • Hundreds of millions of dollars in real property tax revenue from buildings and site improvements
  • Hundreds of millions of dollars in business personal property tax revenue as data center equipment is placed, refreshed, and replaced over time
  • Approximately $600 million in total local tax revenue over the first 15 years of operation under illustrative assumptions
  • Meaningful additional funding potential for County services, schools, utilities, and infrastructure

Compared with many alternative land uses, Haven Oak Technology Park is expected to produce comparatively high tax yield with relatively low long-term service demand.
