Dozier Road Properties – HR Alliance RFI water rights. Connection to this main can be coordinated with the utility to establish service for future site development. Transportation: What transportation options are available to the site (e.g., land, rail, air)? The site is well-positioned for industrial use with access to multiple transportation options. It is located approximately two miles from Exit 250A on Interstate 64, providing direct connectivity to major regional corridors serving Newport News, Norfolk, and Richmond. Rail service is available along Dozier Road via the CSX Railroad, providing access to both regional and national freight networks. There is potential for a future rail spur connection, subject to coordination and approval by CSX. The site is also conveniently located near three international airports: Williamsburg/Newport News International Airport (approximately 7 miles or 15 minutes away), Norfolk International Airport (approximately 35 miles away), and Richmond International Airport (approximately 58 miles away), supporting both passenger and cargo operations. In addition, the site is within reasonable distance of the Port of Virginia facilities, providing access to deep-water maritime shipping and global logistics networks. Transmission: What is the available electrical transmission arrangement and configuration? There are currently no electrical transmission facilities located directly on the site, and bridging is not available. Nearby transmission and distribution lines operated by Dominion Energy may provide feasible service extension options, pending further coordination and load assessment. To meet future power demand, extension of existing transmission infrastructure and construction of a new on-site or area substation may be required. Dominion Energy typically requires an easement of approximately 5 to 7 acres for substation development, although the exact area may vary based on site- specific conditions such as stormwater management, access, and buffer requirements. There is an existing substation across the street from the site. Additional details regarding voltage level, configuration, and capacity would be confirmed through coordination with Dominion Energy. Transmission Studies: Have any transmission congestion studies been performed for the area? NO Energy Storage: Is there any energy storage available on site? NO
