Activist groups in Western Pennsylvania have taken a public stance against a potential Amazon data center project, displaying protest signage on the recently opened Hoodlebug Pedestrian-Bicycle Trail Bridge in Burrell Township. On Sunday, representatives from Concerned Residents of Western Pennsylvania, Unite Armstrong, and Indiana County Common Good, with support from the Pittsburgh Overpass Project, installed banners on the bridge crossing PA Route 119.
The message on the bridge explicitly states "No Data Centers. No Amazon. People over Profit.", directly rebuking the proposed development. This action aims to raise awareness among motorists traveling State Route 119 to and from Blairsville, highlighting local opposition to the tech giant's plans in the region.
