A proposed data center project in a rural Pennsylvania town has sparked significant local controversy. The developer has offered $10,000 to every household in the town if the data center is constructed. However, residents are reportedly rejecting this incentive, with some characterizing it as "bribery." Hundreds of protesters have rallied, urging Governor Shapiro and state legislators to implement a statewide moratorium on data centers. Despite the project's lack of full approval and ongoing public opposition, construction has already begun on an electrical substation intended to support the future data center campus.
