Project Oasis
Project Oasis defines Southwest Virginia as a location of choice in the Commonwealth for data centers based on power and broadband infrastructure along with the use of geothermal cooling technology with the billions of gallons of water collected in underground mines as a significant energy and cost-savings tool.
Project Innovation
The Southwest Virginia Energy Research Park will be a first-of-its-kind operation in the United States that will host entrepreneurs and companies interested in studying, perfecting and eventually commercializing their ideas. It will also be a facility that allows middle and high school students in Southwest Virginia to see STEM-related energy projects in action.
Project Energizer
Project Energizer is taking a disruptive approach to traditional pumped-storage hydro with a small-scale, modular system that can be deployed with very little land disturbance made from off-the-shelf components. By pairing this system with wind and solar power generation, GO Virginia Region One has the potential of deploying a small-scale, affordable and proven base-load renewable energy solution for local high-tech and industrial applications.
Project Thoroughbred
Project Thoroughbred highlights Southwest Virginia’s potential to be a significant player in the craft beverage industry. Working with small, family farms to grow malting quality barley for the first time in the region, InvestSWVA is marketing the “Appalachian Grains” brand to breweries and distilleries across the Commonwealth.
