Proposed data center at 1024 N. Bradford Street
Summary
The owner of an approved flex warehouse is suing the city to use the site as a data center instead, and sought an extension to keep the warehouse approval alive as a fallback. Speakers from the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, Lehigh County, and the public warned a data center brings generators, noise, and grid risks next to a school and Coca-Cola Park.
