Pennsylvania residents reject $10,000 checks from data center developer
In Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, developer NorthPoint Development is offering every household $10,000 and a $165 million fund to win support for a data center construction project. Residents call the offer a bribe and continue their resistance: a court has halted construction, and local authorities have imposed a moratorium. The conflict reflects a growing wave of protests against data centers across the US ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
