Pennsylvania Lawmakers Seek Data Center Development Pause Amid Growing Opposition
State Senator James Malone and Lancaster County officials are advocating for Pennsylvania Senate legislation to allow a pause on data center development. This comes as a University of Pennsylvania survey indicates a significant increase in public opposition to data centers across both political parties.
State Senator James Malone, alongside officials from Lancaster County, is actively lobbying the Pennsylvania Senate to enact legislation that would authorize a temporary halt on data center construction across the state.
This legislative push is supported by findings from a recent University of Pennsylvania survey, which indicates a significant rise in public opposition to data center development. The survey highlights that this growing opposition is prevalent among both Democratic and Republican demographics.
