About Data Center Ledger

Data Center Ledger exists because Pennsylvania communities are being asked to evaluate data center proposals faster than the information about them can be gathered — and because most of what's published on the topic is written to persuade.

Neutrality statement

We are not an advocacy organization. We do not take a position for or against any data center project, developer, or policy. We are not funded by developers, utilities, or opposition campaigns. Our commitment is to what's documented: every fact on this site cites a primary source, and where we can't verify something, we say so instead of asserting it.

The same profile should be equally useful to a township supervisor deciding a vote, a law firm advising a client, a chamber of commerce weighing growth, a journalist on deadline, and a resident who wants the facts.

How it's funded

The tracker is free and always will be. The work is funded by Local Impact Briefs — paid, human-researched analyses of specific projects, prepared with the same sourcing standard and the same neutrality.

Corrections

We publish quickly-checkable facts, and we fix mistakes fast. If we've gotten something wrong, submit a correction with a supporting source — it goes straight to a human reviewer.

Contact

For brief requests, use the request form. For everything else, reach out through the correction form and we'll follow up by email.

Data Center Ledger is informational research, not legal or engineering advice.
