Provider notes
Energy. Takanock told DCD the campus brings its own power via 400MW of front-of-the-meter on-site natural gas generation; the project fact sheet states natural gas turbines, described locally as capable of switching to hydrogen in future.
Water. Takanock spokesperson told DCD the data center will use closed-loop cooling; local reporting cites an estimated ~4,000 gallons per day of water use (about 1.46 million gallons annually) with a near-waterless closed-loop chilled system.
What the source record says
87-acre site on Borden Mowery Drive near Interstate 81 Exit 296 and the Mercury Paper plant in Strasburg's industrial park; roughly 2 million sq ft planned. Takanock develops the land and intends to sell to an as-yet-unnamed operator. Construction reported as potentially starting in late 2027 and concluding around 2030.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-06-22 · source-reported proposed
Developer Takanock proposing a 180MW, 87-acre campus on land already zoned industrial, so data center use is by-right; additional permitting targeted for Q3 2027 with construction beginning the same quarter.
