Provider notes
Community. Residents questioned grid impact and electricity prices; Commissioner Tyler Kochirka said the ordinance change 'came about in, I think, an undermining way,' while Commissioner Cheryl McDermott supported the project.
What the source record says
SunCap Industries is developing the former railcar plant site on Nichol Avenue in Stowe Township, Allegheny County. The zoning amendment adding data centers to permitted industrial uses was subsequently approved, which enables but does not itself authorize a specific building. No capacity, acreage or square footage was disclosed in the reviewed sources, so those fields are omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
