PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. - A new lawsuit has been filed against the Prince William County board of supervisors, over its decision to approve several zoning applications that pave the way for controversial data centers.
FOX 5 has learned residents are filing a lawsuit against the county board of supervisors. They’re reportedly challenging what they describe as the controversial Devlin Technology Park project.
We’re told the group against the data centers have formed a non-profit group called the Devlin Defend Corporation. They say their goal is to raise more than 15-thousand dollars to fund their legal efforts.
This all comes just weeks after the board gave the green light, allowing the construction of several data centers on nearly three-hundred acres along Devlin Road in Bristow. Residents say currently the proposal includes up to nine data centers and three substations to be build on Devlin.
