• 5.1 million-square-foot Atlas Industrial data center could be built across from Parkland High School (lehighvalleynews.com) — A massive 5.1 million-square-foot Atlas Industrial data center is being proposed across from Parkland High School, drawing comparisons to the separate Cetronia Road data center plan in Upper Macungie. Regional planners say both hyperscale projects demand close review of power, water, and environmental impacts, and they expect strong community reaction as the Lehigh Valley confronts how and where to allow such facilities.
