Protect Our Poconos Tracks the Data-Center Push

protectourpoconos.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A public tracker documenting proposed data centers, transmission projects, zoning changes, and community impacts across Pennsylvania’s Poconos.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

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.
