Prince William County homeowners have filed two lawsuits to stop data centers from being developed on 2,139 acres of privately held sites adjoining Manassas National Battlefield Park.
The Oak Valley Homeowners’ Association, the Gainesville Citizens for Smart Growth and 12 individual residents of Heritage Hunt, Oak Valley and Catharpin filed the lawsuits against the Board of County Supervisors in county Circuit Court on Nov. 30 and Dec. 5.
Both complaints ask the court to halt development on the PW Digital Gateway, a county plan to let QTS Realty Trust and Compass Datacenters redevelop 27.6 million square feet of battlefield sites never acquired by the park in a rural strip of the Occoquan Watershed.
