Amazon is considering turning to Indiana County to host an AI data center.
According to a TribLive.com right to know request, a company spokesperson said that Amazon is in discussion with Homer City Redevelopment, who owns the property where the new natural gas-fueled power plant is currently under construction. A definitive agreement is not yet in place. Amazon has committed to two large data center campuses in Eastern and Central Pennsylvania. The Department of Environmental Protection has also not received any permits for any data centers in Homer City, nor have they had any pre-application meetings with Amazon or any other potential companies.
We have reached out to representatives from Homer City Redevelopment for comment. Center Township Supervisor Matt Housholder declined to comment on the issue, saying they do not have enough information. County Commissioners Chairman Mike Keith also declined to comment on the matter.
