SPRINGDALE BOROUGH COUNCIL APPROVES CONDITIONAL-USE PERMIT FOR AI DATA CENTER

The Springdale Borough Council is approving a conditional-use permit for a controversial AI data center in the community.  Council members voted five to two to allow the project to move forward during last night’s meeting.  Developers will now work with the county to line up building permits and other requirements for the facility at the former site of the Cheswick Generating Station.  Many residents have spoken out against the development, raising concerns about water usage, energy costs, and noise.
