  4. History The County has been working on this project since December 2000. The plant is located in an industrially zoned and developed area, compatible with adjoining and nearby uses. The site has been identified for industrial land use since the County’s first Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1975.

  5. History Dominion purchased the project in 2008. Increased the plant size from 520MW to 1,329MW or enough energy to power approximately 325,000 homes. The station will have three combustion turbines and a steam turbine. The station will be powered solely by natural gas and will be among the cleanest fossil-fuel fired facilities in the nation.

  6. History • Project is within the airshed of Shenandoah National Park

  7. History Based on available air quality data, Warren County is designated as an attainment area which indicates the proposed project site must meet the federal and state standards for each criteria pollutant in the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Worked with the National Park service to address the impacts on Shenandoah National Park. Project has required 115% of NOx offsets that directly benefit our airshed to mitigate that impact.

  8. History • Project has just passed the 50% completion milestone. • Commercial operation is scheduled for late 2014 or early 2015.

  9. Employment Impact Total employment on-site as of October 7, 2013 - 1,524 employees. Original estimate was 600-800. Total Hires – 2,506 (100%) Broken down as follows: Local (50mi) – 492 (20%) Non-Local VA – 176 (7%) Out-of-State – 1,838 (73%)

  16. Fiscal Impact “I truly feel that the Dominion Project has provided a significant boost to the local economy of Warren County.  We have seen a significant and positive financial impact at the Holiday Inn & Suites and at Houlihan’s Restaurant + Bar.  A number of sub-contractors and employees working on the site have chosen to make the Holiday Inn their home away from home while working on the site for the past year or so and our staff has forged a number of great friendships with them.” Brent C. Jackson, CHA General Manager - Holiday Inn & Suites Front Royal Blue Ridge Shadows Director of Operations - Blue Ridge Shadows Resort

  17. Fiscal Impact Original 520 MW CPV project was estimated to generate $1.9 million in gross revenue. 1,329 MW project is now estimated to generate $5.8 million. County will lose approximately 20% in a shift in the composite index for school funding. Current estimate is a net of $4.5 million that will depreciate over the next 25 years based on SCC schedule.
