Virginia Court to Hear Appeal on Digital Gateway Project Near Manassas Battlefield
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Virginia Court of Appeals is set to hear an appeal regarding the Digital Gateway project near Manassas National Battlefield Park, which six advocacy groups argue would cause irreparable harm to the historic site. A county judge previously blocked the project due to improper public notification by the Prince William County Commission. The proposed development includes 37 data center buildings and 14 substations, raising concerns over environmental impact and the alteration of the battlefield's character.
