A data center complex could be built at a former quarry in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
Texas-based HCI DP Land Acquisition LLC has filed to build two data centers and an electricity substation on a 250-acre plot on Wagner Street, in the South Hanover Township, which is part of Dauphin County.<\/p>\n
Part of South Hanover\u2019s industrial park, the site is owned by construction materials firm Pennsy Supply and was formerly used as a quarry. A previous application had sought to build warehouses on the land, but the developer has now pivoted to the data center proposal.<\/p>\n
According to the plan, two single-story data center buildings will be constructed, with floor space of 401,800 sq ft (37,330 sqm) and 195,000 sq ft (18,165 sqm) respectively.<\/p>\n
Separately, it has submitted a request to develop a parcel of land outside the park, which is not zoned for industrial use, into a data center.<\/p>\n
The plans have attracted the ire of residents, who were already opposed to the warehouse scheme, and descended upon a meeting of the South Hanover Township Board of Supervisors, held on Tuesday, to voice their concerns.<\/p>\n
Anju Singh, a South Hanover Township resident, told Fox 43<\/a> that a lot of people in the area are feeling \u201cblindsided\u201d by the change of plan.<\/p>\n South Hanover is currently developing rules around data center zoning, but the regulations have yet to be finalized by the board of supervisors.<\/p>\n Pennsylvania is a rapidly growing data center market, and is already home to significant developments from several hyperscalers.
