Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 12, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over AWS Kline Township Data Center Campus in Kline Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

AWS representatives told the Kline Township planning commission the campus would cool on ambient air about 96% of the year and use water the remaining 4%. Stated permitted draw is 15,000 gallons per day domestic plus up to 100,000 gallons per day of non-contact cooling water, 115,000 gpd in total.

Notes on the record

Nine two-story data center buildings plus an administration building, a water building and a security building, totalling about 2.1-2.2 million sq ft, off Lofty Road near Route 309 and Interstate 81, across from van Hoekelen Greenhouses. Buildings stated as 'probably less than 80 feet' tall; first building completion expected 2028. Lofty Road is to be realigned near Route 309 with a new traffic light at Amazon's cost. Stated wages for the ~500 permanent roles are $80,000-$100,000, with about 90% requiring an associate degree or certificate.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
