SALEM TOWNSHIP, PA. — The Salem Township Board of Supervisors has approved a 4,466-acre data center overlay district in northeastern Pennsylvania. The vote represents another cleared hurdle to bringing an energy and digital infrastructure campus with a total power capacity of 4 gigawatts to Luzerne County. The approval follows the Salem Township Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation that 194 local families continue to pursue a potential $1.4 billion land sale involving nearly 4,500 acres of working and retired farms, family homesteads and other properties. That acreage would become the future home of the data center campus known as Salem 3. Under the currently proposed terms, the campus would also feature other uses, including a $12 million micro hospital and a community park, in addition to other natural green spaces that would be preserved.
