Stop the Prince William Digital Gateway and Protect Manassas Battlefield

In December 2023, Prince William County’s board of supervisors approved plans for the massive Digital Gateway complex, a data center campus in the narrow corridor between the western border of Manassas National Battlefield Park and Conway Robinson State Forest. After a 27-hour meeting that included public comment from hundreds of area residents, the final vote in favor was 4-3, with one abstention.

But we weren’t done fighting. On January 12, 2024, the American Battlefield Trust joined nine local residents in filing a lawsuit that asks the Circuit Court for Prince William County to overturn the trio of rezonings granted in violation of Virginia Code by the lame duck County Board of Supervisors. A half-dozen other leading conservation organizations weighed in on the case through a "friend of the court" filing.

Help us show the depth of public opposition to what would be the largest data center campus in the world by signing the appropriate letter.
