MRP Industrial is reported to be exploring a 288-acre, ten-building data center campus near Duncannon in Watts Township, Perry County, replacing an earlier logistics plan. The township appealed its zoning officer's finding that data centers are permitted, scheduled a June 2026 ordinance hearing, and cancelled curative amendment hearings in August. In October 2026 Rowan Digital Infrastructure began promoting a data center proposal in the township. No approvals, MW capacity or construction cost are published.

MLP Ventures is proposing an 8-building data center campus along Renassiance Road. The developer, Brian O’Neill, is also connected to redevelopment proposal for the former Cleveland Cliffs steel plant in Plymouth Township, and several other proposals within Upper Merion Township. The application for 2100 Renaissance Boulevard proposes a 187,952-square-foot data center, while the applications for the other addresses propose a 1,923,866-square-foot data center campus.

PNK Group is proposing, at full buildout, a 300 MW 4-building closed-loop data center campus on land they own and developed at the Great Stream Commons. On site, a 69-kilovolt electric substation is also proposed to be built to support the data centers. Before this proposal can move forward, Gregg Township would need to amend its zoning ordinance to add a permittance to data centers in commercial and manufacturing zones.

Prologis, an industrial real estate investment trust, received unanimous approval in March 2026 to convert a 1,011,808 square foot warehouse they own into a data center at 2500 Liberty Drive. The building was approved for warehouse use in 2016 and completed in 2023, but never occupied. The end tenant is currently undisclosed. The facility will use a closed-loop cooling system, has a privately funded electrical infrastructure including a private substation, and will incorporate solar panels, although no capacity figures have been publicly disclosed. The project is expected to employ between 100 and 120 people.
