Provider notes
Energy. Talen Energy would supply power and PPL would provide transmission, per the developer panel.
Community. None of about three dozen speakers at the developer-run town hall supported the project. A Change.org petition opposes it.
What the source record says
About 450 acres near Martins Creek Belvidere Highway and Gravel Hill Road. No end user. Jobs and investment are developer estimates. The pin is the township centroid. Distinct from the Slate Belt Holdings campus in Upper Mount Bethel.
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
- 2026-04-09 · source-reported proposed
Needs an industrial zone expansion and a land development plan. Developers call the process 'in its infancy'.
