NorthPoint Development is offering $10,000 checks to households near its proposed 1,300-acre data center site in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, on top of up to $120 million pledged over 15 years for local services. The Wall Street Journal reports most residents interviewed remain opposed, citing worries about property values, noise, and distrust of both the developer and local officials. Hazle Township's government previously rejected the project on zoning grounds and has imposed a temporary moratorium on data center construction.
