Blakely Data Center Campus
Jim Marzolino and Alpesh Patel. Withdrawn
Developers Jim Marzolino and Alpesh Patel had proposed a four building, 209 acre data center campus in Blakely borough, with each building around 150,000 square feet. After the borough rejected a request for an extra public meeting and more than 1,800 residents signed a petition against the project, the developers withdrew their proposal and a scheduled zoning hearing was canceled.

What it would mean nearby
PPL Electric distribution base rate case settlement raised residential rates 4.9% from July 2026: about $8 to $10 a month on a $184 bill. The order is meant to keep new data centers from pushing their power costs onto residential electric bills by requiring developers to pay for all of their own electricity. This does not change anyone's electric rate directly, but it is meant to stop the cost of new substations and power lines built for data centers from being added to everyone else's bill.
