A proposed data center campus in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, has become a major local flashpoint, with an Upper Merion Township meeting drawing so many people that overflow space was needed, and residents issued blunt warnings about the project’s effect on the community.
What happened?
The debate spilled online after a TikTok clip from 6abc Action News (@6abcactionnews) captured just how tense the Upper Merion Township Planning Commission meeting became.
The project, known as the Renaissance Park and Innovation Data Center campus, would span five nearby sites in King of Prussia and total more than 4.5 million square feet.
