A final vote on the Prince William Digital Gateway, a massive and controversial data center corridor proposed directly north of Manassas National Battlefield Park, not be held two days before Thanksgiving, Board of Supervisors Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At-Large, announced Tuesday. 

“I completely agree that the Tuesday before Thanksgiving is not an appropriate time to hear the digital gateway,” Wheeler said during her supervisor’s time at the Sept. 12 board meeting. 

The new dates for the required public hearings for both the supervisors and the county planning commission have not yet been released. Wheeler did not immediately respond to an email requesting more information Wednesday morning.
