Archbald council unanimously denies zoning for data center campus

Archbald Borough Council unanimously rejected a zoning request for the proposed 14-building Wildcat Ridge Data Center Campus, which would have occupied 578 acres in the Lackawanna County borough.

The decision drew an enthusiastic response from roughly 200 attendees, including residents and people from other municipalities opposing data center proposals. The denial blocks the project under the zoning request considered by the council.
