A reader of The Morning Call argues that South Whitehall residents should support a proposed data center, saying the facility could provide Parkland School District with approximately $11 million annually in tax revenue. The writer questions concerns about explosions, cancer and traffic, and says rejecting the project could cause the tax benefits to go elsewhere.

The letter is an opinion piece and notes that signs opposing data centers are visible along Route 309. The article does not identify the developer or operator and does not report a government decision on the project.
