On December 13, supervisors approved the Digital Gateway rezonings, with four votes in favor, three opposed and one abstention. Reporting describes widespread public opposition and recommendations for denial by planning staff and the planning commission, with concerns including environmental effects and development beside Manassas National Battlefield Park. The vote authorized land use; it did not mean the proposed multi-year data-center corridor was complete. This is a hyperscale-scale QTS/Compass development rather than a verified AI-only project. Sources use differing acreage boundaries, so no single acreage total is asserted here; the event date is the second day of the December 12–13 hearing.
