NANTICOKE, Pa. — Newport Township commissioners convened a public meeting at Nanticoke Area High School to address intensifying community pushback regarding a proposed $35 billion data center campus. The session provided local residents a dedicated platform to voice their concerns over the massive multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project.
Although township officials did not field questions during the gathering, several community members were permitted to address the board during public comment. Speakers overwhelmingly focused their remarks on the need for greater transparency from local leadership regarding the planning, development timeline, and broader impacts of the project. No vote on the proposed development was scheduled or taken during Monday’s meeting.
