The Virginia First Regional Industrial Facilities Authority (VFRIFA) is exploring a data center project at the New River Commerce Park in Pulaski County. This initiative aims to generate significant revenue for its 11 member jurisdictions and diversify the local economy.

The park's size and infrastructure support multiple data centers, preventing sprawl. The project is currently in the exploratory phase, while Wythe County is also developing an AI computing campus and data center.
