HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The Canadian-based company that owns the Hanover County warehouse previously slated to become an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has backed out of the deal.

Jim Pattison Developments, the company that owns the 550,000-square-foot warehouse in Hanover County — which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) planned to convert into an ICE processing facility — announced on Friday, Jan. 30, that it is pulling out of the deal.

“The transaction to sell our industrial building in Ashland, Virginia will not be proceeding,” the company wrote in a statement on Friday.

The decision comes just two days after the Hanover County Board of Supervisors expressed its disapproval of the plan to turn the warehouse into an ICE processing facility in a Jan. 28 meeting.
