Audit Newport News | Public extract of a released record

Bryan,
Thank you for meeting with Derek & me yesterday afternoon. As we discussed, he & I have been tasked with
quickly preparing a brief SWOT analysis addressing Newport News' ability, attractiveness, etc. for recruiting
& hosting data centers.
Your brief introduction to data centers, their energy needs, & Dominion's team/process for handling requests
from this industry sector was very helpful.
Additionally, we would very much like to connect with your colleagues & appreciate your offer to facilitate an
introductory meeting. A short, 15-minute conversation in the next week would be ideal. Derek & I are not
requesting that your colleagues prepare anything for us; we are simply seeking an overview of Dominion's
process, timeline, & fees required for data center inquiries - info. I suspect your colleagues know like the
back of their hand.
Again, thank you for helping us connect with your colleagues so we can quickly gather general information.
Thank you.
Mallory
