More than 250 people from across Pennsylvania gathered at the state Capitol in Harrisburg on Oct. 6 to demand a statewide moratorium on data center development. The rally included the president of Concerned Citizens of Montour County, who joined other speakers urging Gov. Josh Shapiro and state legislators to halt further development.
