Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced the launch of a new public feedback website designed to gather community concerns regarding proposed AI data center developments across the state. The site allows residents to submit their input directly to the governor's office, addressing questions about local support and the potential impact these facilities might have on their communities.

This new platform comes on the heels of an executive order issued by Governor Shapiro earlier this week. The executive order aims to curb what the administration views as "speculative" data center development, indicating a proactive stance by the state government to manage the industry's growth.
