Six AI data centers proposed for a small town of 7,000, equal to 51 Walmart Supercenters in 17 square mile area — four out of the seven town council members have resigned from their positions as town fights back

Developers have proposed building six AI data centers in Archbald, Pennsylvania, a small town with a population of 7,000. These data centers would cover 14% of the town's 17-square-mile area and are equivalent in size to 51 Walmart Supercenters. The community is pushing back due to concerns about the impact on local utilities, noise, and light pollution. The fight has led to resignations from town council members and delays in the projects, with President Donald Trump getting involved in urging hyperscalers to address community concerns.
