The Homer City Energy Campus data center development, situated across portions of Center and Blacklick townships in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, continues to be a focal point of discussion. At a recent Indiana County Commissioners' meeting, Susan Comfort, representing Concerned Residents of Western Pennsylvania, voiced strong criticism, claiming "industry capture" by county officials who she believes align with the "billionaire-backed AI industry" at the expense of their constituents.

The public meeting by the Commissioners preceded a separate gathering of the Indiana County Planning Commission, which was scheduled to address specific plans for the proposed complex of data centers.
