Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

1. 2026-06-22Proposed

   Developer Takanock proposing a 180MW, 87-acre campus on land already zoned industrial, so data center use is by-right; additional permitting targeted for Q3 2027 with construction beginning the same quarter.

   Underlying source

Source notes

87-acre site on Borden Mowery Drive near Interstate 81 Exit 296 and the Mercury Paper plant in Strasburg's industrial park; roughly 2 million sq ft planned. Takanock develops the land and intends to sell to an as-yet-unnamed operator. Construction reported as potentially starting in late 2027 and concluding around 2030.

Takanock told DCD the campus brings its own power via 400MW of front-of-the-meter on-site natural gas generation; the project fact sheet states natural gas turbines, described locally as capable of switching to hydrogen in future.
