East Vincent denies data center application at former Pennhurst site
The East Vincent Board of Supervisors denied an application to build a 1.9-million-square-foot hyperscale data center at the former Pennhurst Hospital site, citing non-compliance with local zoning requirements. The decision was met with cheers from residents and advocacy groups, while the developer, Penn Hurst Holdings DE LLC, announced plans to appeal the ruling in court. Local and state officials, along with environmental groups, weighed in on the outcome and broader implications for data center development in Pennsylvania.
