Increased Traffic

This issue is not just about one project; it is about the massive cumulative burden being placed on our local roads, which are already at or near capacity. The HHHunt data center is not a low-traffic facility. The proposal itself states it will add 2,921 extra vehicle trips per day to our local roads (Meeting PDF, p. 13).

​

The HHHunt Project's Direct Impact: 2,900+ New Trips Daily

​

• Construction Traffic: This number doesn't fully account for the "Heavy Construction and Traffic" (Meeting PDF, p. 17) that will occur for years, involving heavy trucks, cement mixers, and construction crews.

​

• Specific Choke Point: The community presentation specifically identifies "Traffic on Ashland Road" as a "main concern" from this project (Meeting PDF, p. 14).

​

The Cumulative Impact: Piling On an Existing Crisis

​

• This data center is not being proposed in a vacuum. Its 2,900+ daily trips will be added on top of a traffic network already buckling under the weight of numerous other approved and proposed residential projects. Our concern is that this industrial project is being approved without considering the combined traffic from all the other developments planned for the exact same roads.

​

• Our roads are already a primary concern from these other projects:

​

• Nuckols Road is already a major bottleneck, and it is the focus of concern for at least three other major developments (Meeting PDF, p. 35, 36, 37):

  • "North End at Innsbrook" Complex

  • 75 Homes near Wyndham Forest

  • 373 Homes off Nuckols Rd (near Springfield Landfill)

• Pouncey Tract Road is the main concern for the 1,600-home "Avenlea" development (Meeting PDF, p. 38).

​

• Wyndham's Rear Exits are a key concern for the 72 new homes planned near Kaechele Elementary (Meeting PDF, p. 34).

​

An Unacceptable Industrial Burden on Residential Roads

​

The traffic being added is not just "more cars." It is a fundamental shift in the type of traffic. Our roads, which were designed for residential communities and schools, will now be forced to absorb the 24/7 industrial and heavy-vehicle load of a 410-acre complex.

​

Approving this project ignores the existing, documented traffic concerns from thousands of new homes and adds a massive new industrial problem on top of it.
