Peron Development

Peron Development and J.G. Petrucci are proposing a 1.2 GW data center called the Lower Mount Bethel Tech Center on a 450-acre parcel in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Part of the site would require rezoning from agricultural to industrial. The project would leverage proximity to Talen Energy's Martins Creek Power Plant for power supply. Developers promise millions in tax revenue, hundreds of jobs, and community investment, but residents are strongly opposing the project over farmland loss, water use, noise, and environmental concerns. The project is still in the exploratory phase, with two of five township supervisors already committed to voting no.
