Digital Gateway data center project blocked

An appeals court has upheld a decision that effectively blocks the Digital Gateway Data Center project from proceeding in Prince William County, Virginia. Local leaders had initially approved zoning changes necessary for the data center's construction. However, residents of the Oak Valley community mounted opposition, arguing that the public hearings concerning the project were not adequately advertised. The Court of Appeals concurred with the residents' claims, thereby halting any construction on the data center. The project's future now hinges on a potential reversal of this decision by the Virginia Supreme Court.
