The record, newest first

  1. DEP's tracker lists the project as under review, with one permit pending, one returned and four not yet submitted. (Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026; Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026)

  2. An individual Chapter 102 NPDES stormwater permit application (PAD350071) was submitted to DEP; it is listed as pending. (Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026; Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026)

  3. 28/22 News described Project Boson as a single building of about 620,000 sq ft on the former junkyard site; because it was filed before the borough's data center overlay, it can bypass the conditional use process. (WBRE/WYOU 28/22 News, March 28, 2026)

  4. WILK reported that the same developer, Jim Marzolino, applied for a zoning permit for a roughly 491,800 sq ft power plant on the west side of Eynon Jermyn Road, across from the junkyard and under 1,000 feet from Staback Park. (WILK News (Audacy), March 23, 2026)

  5. DEP's tracker shows an Act 537 sewage planning submission for the project, later returned. (Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026; Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Oct. 31, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The power plant application is a separate filing by the same developer; whether it would serve Project Boson is not stated in the sources.

The full record

Status note
Filed under Archbald's earlier zoning, so it skipped a conditional use hearing; DEP lists an individual stormwater (NPDES) permit application as pending.
Power note
No power figure published in the sources reviewed; under 100 acres, so included as a smaller proposed campus.
Evidence
