Notes on the record
186 acres, Business Route 6 / Eynon Jermyn Rd. Developer formerly known as Western Hospitality Partners - Jermyn LLC. Up to 6 two-story buildings, 135,000 sq ft each. No tenant signed as of January 2026; removed from PA's Permit Fast Track program May 2026; still awaiting final land development approval. One of three competing, previously-untracked proposals in an emerging Lackawanna County cluster (see also Wildcat Ridge and Triboro Industrial Park, both added this session). Coordinates are approximate.
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
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- 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.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
