In Pennsylvania, residents turn down $10,000 each to back a data center: ‘It’s like bribery’

Every household in Hazle Township would get $10,000. All residents would have to do is give a thumbs up to a hyperscale data center in their backyard.In this former Pennsylvania coal community where 17% are living under the poverty level, that money could go a long way and arrive in short order as soon as the first building of the data center receives a certificate of occupancy.
