Hearing for proposed Archbald data center gets heated as hundreds express environmental, economic concerns

A proposed data center campus called Wildcat Ridge in Archbald, Pennsylvania is facing heated opposition from hundreds of residents concerned about its environmental and economic impact. The 14-building, 200,000+ sq ft data center project would require 560 generators and up to 3.3 million gallons of water. Residents have hired a lawyer to challenge the project, while the borough council has questioned the developers' claims of over 1,200 new jobs being created.
