The record, newest first

  1. At a township town hall the developer described about 20 buildings totaling some 3 million square feet; the commission president said he could not support it without better answers, and the local state representative said he opposes it. (Pittsburgh's Public Source, Oct. 13, 2026)

  2. The township commission president disclosed at a public meeting that the township had been approached about a data center. (Pittsburgh's Public Source, Oct. 5, 2026)

  3. A revised site plan sent to the township moved buildings away from a nearby manufactured home community; summer plans ranged from 11 to 28 two-story buildings. (Pittsburgh's Public Source, Oct. 5, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Not on DEP's data center permit tracker as of Oct. 31, 2026.
  • Square footage varies by layout: a 12-building option was put at 3.7 million sq ft in summer emails; the October town hall figure was about 3 million.
  • Developer revenue claim of up to $125 million a year in local taxes is unverified; township said it did not prepare those numbers.
  • A local group, Protect Elizabeth Township, opposes the plan; it formed earlier to fight a power plant proposed for the same site.
