Extract to table

3(18), an applicant must satisfy several statutory criteria

The applicant must create a minimum of 50 new full-time jobs at the data center facility

The statute specifies that these must be newly created positions — existing positions transferred from another facility do not count toward the threshold

The facility for which the exemption is claimed must qualify as a "data center" under the statute

The facility must be used primarily for data center operations — ancillary uses (such as office space for administrative staff) are permissible, but the predominant use must be data storage, processing, and management

The data center must be located within the Commonwealth of Virginia
