Summary answer: Given how closely Manassas's name is tied to this story, this is a fair question to ask — but the proposed Prince William Digital Gateway site sat north and west of the battlefield, closer to Gainesville, not inside Manassas city itself. And as of September 2026, the entire $100 billion project has collapsed after a five-year fight.

Why Manassas residents were genuinely invested in this fight anyway
The battlefield sits directly adjacent to the city and shares its name — many residents were actively involved in the years-long opposition effort, even though the physical site itself was outside city limits.
