Corscale Highlands East data center (Highland Street, Swatara Township)
Also called: Highlands East Data Center, 4951 Highland Street site (behind WITF)
A Texas-based company, Corscale, wants to build two large one-story data center buildings on 157 acres off Highland Street in Swatara Township. It is a separate site from Corscale's plan for the old Dauphin Highlands golf course nearby. The company says the buildings would use about 7,500 gallons of water a day and get power from the grid.
Where things stand: Land development plan went to the Swatara Township Planning Commission on Sept. 8, 2026. No approval yet.
🕒 Latest update (Sept 8, 2026): Corscale showed its 121-page land development plan for two buildings on Highland Street to the township planning commission. Residents asked about noise, generators, water and who the tenant is.
