Proposed data center in Limerick, Pa., draws questions over environmental impact and cost

A developer, MCD 7 LLC, is proposing to build a sprawling 1.5 million square foot data center in Limerick Township, Pennsylvania. The local government has the ability to place conditions on the project, such as setting height, sound, and environmental standards. Some local leaders and residents have raised concerns about the potential environmental impact and strain on local resources that a data center of this scale could have.
