Seems logically similar to the reason why there are landing stations, but no noteworthy datacenters on the Oregon coast. Everything goes in various ring topology paths to Hillsboro/Portland. And routes that go more directly east to meet the fiber huts on long haul routes Portland-Sacramento.

Ex-757'er (757 = Virginia Beach.)

Dead area tech wise. Bad job prospects led the geeks to flee the area.
Small lights out data centers to support a few undersea cables aren't
going to change that. Those cables landing in VaBeach will have their
traffic hauled to Northern Virginia -- where all the action is. It will
do little to benefit the locals once the build out is done.
