Join representatives of the American Battlefield Trust, Central Virginia Battlefields Trust, Friends of Wilderness Battlefield, National Parks Conservation Association and Piedmont Environmental Council – plaintiffs and amicus curiae in the lawsuit over the Wilderness Crossing Development – for a briefing on March 17, 2025 at 11 a.m. ET in anticipation of next Friday’s preliminary hearing in the case.
Sign up HERE to participate via Zoom. You’ll hear what local advocates can do to support our day in court and what interested parties can expect in terms of process, duration and potential outcomes. Remember: March 21 is not the start of the trial itself; Orange County filed a motion to have the case dismissed, so this hearing will determine whether the case will move to trial. We’ll also provide a background briefing on this proposal and our case’s merits, as well as the broader issue of data center impact across Virginia.
If you plan to attend, please register early. This briefing is a joint endeavor, with members from multiple organizations invited and the webinar platform does have a maximum capacity. This session will also differ from other Trust updates you may have attended because we also anticipate that members of the media preparing to cover the hearing, which is a major milestone in a high-visibility, ongoing story, will be in attendance.
‘Til the battle is won,
David N. Duncan
President
American Battlefield Trust
