Keel Infrastructure, formerly known as Bitfarms, is advancing a data center expansion on Clark Street on a roughly 17-acre former industrial brownfield site associated with the old Westinghouse Electric plant. The plan is to convert the existing ~30-MW Bitcoin-mining operation into a 110 MW AI/high-performance-computing campus, spanning parcels on both the north and south sides of the street with multiple buildings. The developer has stated it would begin construction and hiring before the end of 2026, contingent on remaining approvals from the Mercer County Regional Planning Commission, Sharon Planning Commission, and city council, with the facility potentially operational by late 2027 or early 2028.

Linde Corporation, a NEPA-headquartered infrastructure contractor, is proposing a 682-acre, 20-building data center campus on a ~743-acre parcel the company owns off Route 247 and Flat Rock Road in Clinton Township. The original application was made on April 30th, the same day that the Board of Supervisors voted to enact a 6 month moratorium. On June 3rd, the Clinton Township Planning Commission declared the application incomplete, requiring Linde to resubmit a corrected application, which was later accepted on July 1st. In early September 2026, the proposal was rejected by the Clinton Township Board of Supervisors. \n Clinton Township is unique in that it does not have zoning, but instead relies on Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) as a tool to regulate land development.
