The Canadian-based owners of the Hanover County building that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wanted to use as a processing facility said Friday that the deal will not happen.

"The transaction to sell our industrial building in Ashland, Virginia will not be proceeding," reads the one-sentence statement posted to the Jim Pattison Developments' website.

The Canadian Press reported on Wednesday that Jim Pattison Group did not know the Ashland property was slated to be an ICE holding facility when it agreed to sell to "a U.S. government contractor."

The company is a diversified real estate investment and development firm operating in the U.S. and Canada.

Hanover County officials said Friday afternoon that they were "aware" of the statement about the sale not moving forward and were working to confirm its validity.
