Conflicts and open questions
- Building size 1 million sq ft (TribLive) or 1.1 million (Marcellus Drilling News).
- Tenaska plant capacity reported as 950 MW (TribLive) and 940 MW (MDN).
- TribLive says the Westmoreland Conservation District approved a permit for a warehouse in January 2025 that does not mention a data center; DEP's tracker lists an issued PAG-02 (PAC650364), possibly the same permit (not confirmed).
- Coordinates from DEP tracker.
- TribLive names Douglas Sippel as a governor of Stanton Farm LLC; only Marcellus Drilling News names Sippel Development Co. as a developer.
