Southern Virginia
Microsoft operates a datacenter in Boydton, Virginia. The area is also home to the Microsoft TechSpark Southern Virginia region. Our community development work supports projects in the Virginia counties of Halifax, Charlotte, Lunenburg, Brunswick, and Mecklenburg.
Aligned with Microsoft’s global commitments, our datacenter community pledge is to build and operate digital infrastructure that addresses societal challenges and creates benefits for communities in which we operate and where our employees live and work. We will contribute to a sustainable future, advance community prosperity and well-being, and operate responsibly as a good neighbor.
