Clayton Thomas 'Clay' Forehand serves as Chairman of the Caroline County Board of Supervisors (Madison District). He operates Speedy Fixx LC — a licensed construction business — from his home address at 17202 Perinchief Street, Ruther Glen, VA 22546 (same zip code as CleanArc and Amazon Mattameade). The business is listed in the Caroline County official Construction Business directory: 'Speedy Fixx LC — Clayton Forehand, 17202 Perinchief Street, Ruther Glen, VA 22546, 804.314.3214.' Virginia SCC Entity ID: 11047574. THE FOREHAND/ROSENDIN TIMELINE (CORRECTED — Aug 17, 2026): Clay Forehand was employed at Rosendin Electric from August 2014 to February 2020 (per his own LinkedIn), serving as Senior Safety Manager (Aug 2014–Jan 2019) and Corporate Director of Safety, Eastern US (Jan 2019–Feb 2020). He was elected to the Caroline County Board of Supervisors in November 2015 and took office January 2016, creating a 4-year overlap (Jan 2016–Feb 2020) where he was simultaneously a sitting Supervisor and employed at Rosendin Electric. DURING that overlap period, on August 13, 2019, Forehand chaired the public hearing and voted YES on a package of ordinances (TXT-01 through TXT-06) that explicitly added 'Data Center' as a defined use in the Caroline County zoning ordinance and made data centers a by-right use in M-1 Industrial and Planned Industrial Park zoning districts. The first reading was June 2019. This was not a generic industrial vote — the agenda and minutes literally say 'Data Center.' At the same August 13, 2019 meeting, Forehand voted YES on a consent agenda that included an underground CSX crossing to connect M.C. Dean to the county sewer system and an expedited public hearing for industrial/commercial prospects in the Carmel Church Business Center. M.C. Dean had publicly announced a $25.1M technology-related investment in Caroline County in March 2019. On September 10, 2019, Forehand voted YES on rezoning 58.3 acres at Enterprise Parkway and Rogers Clark Boulevard to M-1 Industrial. County staff explicitly stated the applicant wanted to take advantage of the August 2019 text amendment that the Board had just approved. In February 2018, while employed at Rosendin, Forehand participated in a 7x24 Exchange DC/Central Virginia event focused on mission-critical environments — a data center industry organization. The event roster identifies him as 'Clay Forehand, Rosendin Electric.' Rosendin publicly describes its Mid-Atlantic operations as serving Northern Virginia's 'Data Center Alley,' with $261 million in Mid-Atlantic business by 2017. Forehand has publicly claimed: 'I left Rosendin YEARS before I voted on anything related to data centers.' The primary record shows he voted to add 'Data Center' to the county zoning code on August 13, 2019, while still employed at Rosendin through February 2020 — approximately 6 months before his departure, not 'years.' The ONGOING conflict is also confirmed: Forehand currently works as Regional Safety Manager at Hourigan Construction (Dec 2024–present), a major Virginia data center builder, and Rosendin Electric is the confirmed electrical contractor on CleanArc's Caroline County campus — the same project Forehand voted to approve in August 2025. Forehand publicly stated at a BOS meeting: 'For the past 15 years, I worked for companies that did electrical work in data centers.' This statement was accurate as to his employment history (Rosendin 2014–2020, Hourigan 2024–present), but the timeline matters: his Rosendin employment did not overlap with any data-center-specific rezoning or project votes. The ongoing conflict is his current Hourigan employment (a data center builder) combined with Rosendin being the electrical contractor on CleanArc — the project he voted to approve. Data center construction — including electrical and cabling work — is the largest construction opportunity in Caroline County's history. If Speedy Fixx LC received any work connected to data center infrastructure, utility buildout, road improvements, or county government construction projects approved during Forehand's tenure, that is a direct personal financial interest in the transactions he voted on. As of June 2026, Speedy Fixx LC does not appear on the county's published standing vendor contract list. However, individual purchase orders and warrant payments are not reflected in that list — they require a FOIA request for payment registers (the same registers partially reviewed in FOIA 26-66). THE BELMONT NORTH PROFFER (CONFIRMED — Aug 17, 2026): The Belmont North proffer was originally set at $2,500,000 for a public safety building under rezoning RZ-11-2007 (2008). On September 11, 2023, attorney M. Ann Neil Cosby sent a formal memo to Supervisor Floyd Thomas showing the public safety cash proffer was reduced from $2,500,000 to $819,862, with $1,680,138 stripped and reallocated to a road extension. On August 25, 2023, a FOIA-released email shows Cosby scheduling a private meeting with Forehand, developer Jim Bonnell, and county staff for August 30 — two weeks before the BOS formally approved the amended proffer (RZ-01-2023) on September 12, 2023. Forehand has publicly claimed $819K was 'the original proffer when fire stations cost $800K' — primary documents show the original proffer was $2.5M and was reduced by $1.68M in 2023. THE CTEC REZONING MOTION: Forehand personally moved the motion to resurrect the Luck Stone/Carmel Technology and Enterprise Center (CTEC) rezoning (RZ-04-2025) after it was defeated THREE TIMES. According to Fredericksburg Free Press reporting and Kevin Collins's public testimony at a BOS meeting, Forehand broke the prior pattern of rejections by moving the reconsideration that ultimately led to approval. This is the same rezoning that converts former quarry land at Jericho Road to a data center campus — the largest land rezoning in Caroline County history. SCHOOL FUNDING DENIAL: As BOS Chair, Forehand refused to release $1 million in FY25 reversion funds for school trailers at Lewis & Clark Elementary. The school board's request 'went unacknowledged.'

Forehand III — a licensed Virginia real estate broker (DPOR 0225) based in Norfolk — as its registered agent. The registered office is a virtual office at 999 Waterside Drive, Suite 2525, Norfolk. Whether Clay Forehand holds any interest in this entity has not been confirmed from SCC records alone; the entity's membership/principal structure requires further investigation through the SCC 'Principals' tab or Circuit Court records.
