Dan Diorio from Data Center Coalition talks opposition on This Week in Pennsylvania

The divide between Pennsylvania voters and the data center industry is widening as data center developments expand across the state. Many residents are actively opposing these projects, frequently packing borough council meetings. Rural communities, in particular, express significant concerns regarding the potential impact of data centers on local water resources, noise levels, and agricultural land. Dan Diorio, a Poconos native and Vice President of State Policy for the Data Center Coalition, is tasked with addressing these growing anxieties. Diorio concedes that the data center industry could improve its outreach and communication efforts with local communities. His interview with Dennis Owens on "This Week in Pennsylvania" delves into how he would approach the approximately 60% of Pennsylvanians who reportedly oppose data center construction.
