The company is seeking to install a larger electrical service and 27 new Antboxes for crypto mining.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"637v3\">Local broadcaster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weny.com\/news\/bradford-county-crypto-mine-solar-farm-proposals-face-delays\/article_743b7760-2bf9-4f02-ae34-60dd30a7839f.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WENY<\/a> reported that the county planning commission halted progress on several projects at its June 16 meeting, including the cryptomine proposal and several solar farm developments.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"15cr9\">The June 16 agenda listed Soltier\u2019s application as seeking conditional\/preliminary approval, contingent on comments from Keystone Associates Architects, a regional architecture, engineering, and surveying firm.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"96sa2\">Earlier county documents show the proposal has been moving through the planning process for several months. The application was tabled at the December 2025 meeting, while a 90-day extension was requested in February 2026. A second submission was received in March, and a review meeting between the engineer and developer was held later that month.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"5lj9v\">The proposed power capacity of the mining facility has not been disclosed in publicly available planning documents.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"3t37o\">The cryptomine application is one of a number of energy-related land development proposals under review in Bradford County. These include the PAL115 Tarbox Solar Project in Canton Township, a proposed 3MW photovoltaic facility from Pivot Energy that would include more than 6,600 solar panels and connect to the grid along State Route 14.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"54r2g\">The delays come amid growing scrutiny of crypto mining and other energy-intensive digital infrastructure projects across the US, particularly in rural areas where developments have faced questions over power use, noise, land use, and grid impact.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"6emn\">The Bradford County planning commission is a nine-member board appointed by the county commissioners. According to the county, the commission advises on coordinated development and administers the county\u2019s subdivision and land development ordinance across most municipalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plans for a cryptocurrency mining facility in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, have faced another delay after local planning officials&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-227058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
