PAR: The Data Behind Data Centers Coming October 6th |
|
| |
|
Data centers are making headlines and expanding into communities across Pennsylvania. As demand for digital infrastructure grows, these developments raise important questions about land use, economic development, energy use and local impact.
To help you stay informed, PAR is hosting a webinar The Data Behind Data Centers on Tuesday, October 6 at noon, designed to break down what data centers are and how they operate, why these projects are growing across Pennsylvania, the potential impacts on local communities, and key considerations related to development, energy and land use.
Join Nadia Evangelou, principal economist and director of real estate research, and Matt Christopherson, director of business and consumer research, both with the National Association of REALTORS®, as they examine national trends and Pennsylvania-specific data related to data center development. Understand the real-world impacts of data center growth and the latest research on housing, jobs, energy and real estate.
These webinars will be recorded and shared with all those who are registered.
Please do not cancel your registration if you wish to receive the recording.
This webinar does not provide continuing education credits.

SRA: Developer Sues Upper Merion Over Denial of Data Centers
|
|
| |
|
Developer Brian O'Neill, CEO of MLP Ventures, has filed five lawsuits against the Upper Merion Township Board of Supervisors over its denial of five proposed King of Prussia data center projects totaling 4.6 million square feet. The developer argues that officials had previously indicated the developments would comply with zoning as a warehouse use and that the board's rejection was driven by public opposition rather than objective zoning deficiencies. The proposals were denied following a contentious Aug. 13 public meeting where supervisors cited insufficient information about community impacts like energy and utility needs. The denials were met with applause from residents and backed by an 18,000-signature petition. O'Neill's suits, filed in Montgomery County Court, claim this reasoning was legally improper and seek court approval of the plans. Because the proposals predate a new township ordinance regulating data centers' noise, energy and water impacts, that ordinance doesn't apply to this case. The denial comes amid broader regional and statewide pushback against data center development.
