Governor Josh Shapiro is issuing an executive order that aims to place strict requirements on data center construction.
Shapiro issued the order earlier this week.
“Over the past year, I’ve listened to the people of Pennsylvania – and I’ve heard directly from many residents across our Commonwealth who are concerned about what data center development could mean for our communities, our environment, and our utility bills,” Shapiro said. “My message to data center developers is clear: if you can’t agree to our strict requirements and get the community where you want to build to say ‘yes,’ you’re not going to have the Commonwealth’s support either.
Shapiro also says this order gives local municipalities more say in data center development.
Republican candidate for governor, Stacy Garrity, issued a statement saying the order was a politically motivated flip-flop by Shapiro.
