📍 Public Hearing
Thursday, March 19, 2026
5:00 PM
Valley View High School Auditorium
1 Columbus Drive, Archbald, PA 18403

What Is Being Proposed?

Project Green Mountain includes:

- Seven (7) two-story data center buildings
- Approximately 138,000 square feet per building footprint (276,000 square feet total per building)
- Backup generator yards supporting the campus
- A PP&amp;L-owned switchyard and customer substation
- Large stormwater detention basins designed for storage and reuse
- Internal secured access drives and emergency access routes
- A boulevard-style entrance to Salem Road (SR-1012) providing access to the campus
- Development across approximately 270 acres of land

The proposed site is located on the east side of the Casey Highway (SR-6) on land that was formerly quarried.

The project spans multiple zoning districts including:

- Mining (M)
- Coal Mining (CM)
- Resource Conservation (R-C)
- Commercial / Light Industrial (C/LI)

The property is also located within the Data Center Overlay District adopted in November 2025.

Why This Hearing Matters

This hearing is part of the conditional use approval process required under the borough zoning ordinance.

During these hearings:

The developer presents expert testimony

Borough officials evaluate compliance with the zoning ordinance

Testimony becomes part of the official legal record

Conditional use approval is not automatic.

The applicant must demonstrate compliance with every required standard in the zoning ordinance and data center overlay district, including:

Environmental protections

Infrastructure capacity

Site design standards

Compatibility with surrounding districts

Operational impacts

If the applicant fails to meet required criteria, Borough Council has the authority to deny the application.

You Do NOT Need to Speak

You do not need to be an expert.

You do not need to cross-examine witnesses.

But community presence matters:

- A full room signals community interest
- Public attendance encourages thorough review
- Numbers matter in land-use decisions

These hearings shape the long-term direction of development in Archbald.

This Is About Long-Term Direction

Projects of this scale affect communities for decades.

Decisions like this influence:

- Property values
- Infrastructure demand
- Environmental conditions
- Traffic patterns
- The long-term character of the borough
