Bradford Street data center / warehouse extension

Representing the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, she argued flex warehouse and data center uses have vastly different water, power, and freight impacts, and asked why the applicant keeps pursuing a warehouse extension if its stated goal is a data center next to a school, Coca-Cola Park, and the Lehigh River.

Speaking for the Lehigh County commissioners and county executive as a budding property owner, he said the county shares the LVPC's concerns and will be an active, closely watching participant going forward.

A resident of West Green Street, he raised technical concerns about data center generators causing voltage spikes, regional blackout risk, and frequent generator use near Coca-Cola Field.

Representing PA Stands Up, she urged denial of the extension, citing environmental impacts near data centers and a nationwide call for AI data center moratoriums.

Speaking for hundreds of Lehigh County members, she noted the developer's controversial Lower Mount Bethel data center record and urged the commission to deny the extension rather than grant special favors to a party suing the city.
