A proposed data center in Huntingdon County drew opposition at a special meeting in Union Township. The project would occupy about 1,600 acres along Trough Creek Valley Pike, while residents expressed concerns about light pollution, noise and possible environmental effects. Officials did not take action at the meeting and invited residents to attend the next Union Township Supervisors meeting.
The report also said tourism in Johnstown has increased since the city’s Inclined Plane and Central Park reopened. CamTran reported more than 17,000 Inclined Plane riders across 17 days of operation, with free rides scheduled through Oct. 31.
