West Hazleton data center site (behind Valmont Shopping Plaza)
Also called: West Hazelton Data Center (One Trinity Real Estate), One Trinity Real Estate Investments

Where things stand: Reported withdrawn by late 2025; the borough is writing data center rules.
🕒 Latest update (Dec 2025): Reported as withdrawn.
