Data Center Backlash
Archbald, Pennsylvania

Wildcat Ridge Data Center Campus

Rejected
Cornell Realty Management — 14 buildings on 578 acres with hundreds of diesel backup generators

The borough council unanimously denied the zoning request on October 21 after opponents challenged the project's traffic and economic studies and a public health expert estimated millions in annual health damages from generator emissions. An appeal is expected, and Archbald faces several other proposed data centers in northeastern Pennsylvania.
