How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.
Limerick Township's Board of Supervisors voted on Jan. 21, 2026 to send a formal letter of opposition to Harrisburg regarding the 55-acre Pennsylvania Game Lands swap tied to the proposed data-center site, after a packed, hours-long meeting. The letter does not block the land exchange but places local opposition on the state record. Residents cited river-adjacent industrial-development risk and a lack of documented public benefit.
Power and water
Township review materials describe cooling demand of as much as 1.3 million gallons of water per day.
Notes on the record
Eight server buildings totaling about 1.4 million sq ft on roughly 192 acres across from the Philadelphia Premium Outlets, replacing a previously approved warehouse complex; projected to generate $10 to 20 million in tax revenue, primarily to the Spring-Ford School District. Trade press reports the project under the name 'Project Laurel' and places it within a mile of Constellation's Limerick nuclear station; neither detail was confirmed in the source cited here. The eventual occupant is under a non-disclosure agreement.
