Summary
Data center developer QTS, owned by Blackstone, has officially abandoned its planned 2,100-acre "Digital Gateway" data center campus in Virginia after years of legal battles with local residents and historic preservation groups. The company filed a withdrawal of its last remaining appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court on July 2, marking the end of the project. The project's collapse was ultimately triggered by a newspaper-notice technicality, despite initial approvals.
