Protect Our Poconos Tracks the Data-Center Push
A public tracker documenting proposed data centers, transmission projects, zoning changes, and community impacts across Pennsylvania’s Poconos.
Field notes
The homepage uses separate labels for confirmed proposals, adopted township rules, related transmission infrastructure, and community rumors rather than treating every item as a data-center project. Its Smithfield Gateway entry gives a 500,000-square-foot total floor area and a 250,000-square-foot ground footprint, while the Shawnee–Walker entry describes approximately 30 miles of transmission infrastructure. A dated hearing notice and links to source materials make the tracker useful for following the local review process.
