At the Wednesday night Archbald Borough Council meeting, members voted unanimously against the proposed data center campus.
ARCHBALD, Pa. — On Wednesday, the Archbald Borough Council voted against the development of a data center campus in Lackawanna County.
The controversial Wildcat Ridge project is a proposed 14-building data center campus off Wildcat Road and Business Route 6.
Council members voted unanimously to reject the developer’s proposal to move forward with the project.
Tamara Misewicz‑Healey, Co-Founder of STOP Archbald Data Center Group, says this was a win for the community.
“It’s a win, and I’m going to take it. We’re going to celebrate it, and we’re going to continue on with whatever that looks like. This is a small town. The people that sit in our borough, they’re our friends, our family, you know. We’re a community, and it feels good to finally be on the same page,” said Misewicz‑Healey.
The developer’s attorney did not want to comment on the steps moving forward after the rejection of the data center campus in Archbald.
