A group of Gainesville residents is asking a Prince William County judge to overturn approval of the PW Digital Gateway.
Roger Yackel, Roger Miller and Gainesville Citizens for Smart Growth filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Board of County Supervisors, Chair Ann Wheeler and Supervisor Pete Candland.
The lawsuit focuses on the board’s Nov. 1 vote to approve an amendment to the county’s Comprehensive Plan to create the data center complex.
“[T]he desire of the County to reap funds from the data center industry does not justify the overreaching scope of the [Comprehensive Plan amendment],” the lawsuit says.
The board voted to approve the guidelines for the project after a more than nine-hour public hearing and a roughly 14-hour meeting.
