Community sentiment
The Prince William County BOS approved the Gainesville Crossing rezoning (REZ2018-00008) 7-1 on Dec 10 2019 over opposition from the Coalition to Protect Prince William County (Elena Schlossberg: 'Citizens are carrying the burden of the massive infrastructure bills for these energy hogs'). Distinct from the separately-contested PW Digital Gateway / Pageland Lane project (voided by courts in 2025); GCDC's own approval is not under legal challenge.
