Artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented demand for data centers, large-scale facilities that consume significant land, water, and energy. In Pennsylvania, proposals for new data centers are raising big questions about economic development, environmental impact, infrastructure strain, and community transparency.
In this hour-long, interview-style special, A Community Conversation: The Data Center Debate brings together local leaders, industry experts, environmental advocates, and residents to explore what AI data centers could mean for the region. Who benefits? Who bears the cost? And how can communities balance innovation with sustainability and quality of life?
This program will be broadcast live from the Univest Public Media Center's Studio A, with opportunity for audience members to ask questions.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Filming begins promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Tickets for A Community Conversation: The Data Center Debate can be booked here.
