Pennhurst Holdings LLC proposed a 1.9 million square foot, 4 building data center campus at 1205 Commonwealth Drive on the former Pennhurst State School and Hospital property in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. East Vincent Township supervisors unanimously rejected the proposal in May 2026, prompting an appeal to the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.

A blank value cell means not disclosed by any source on file; a blank basis cell means the source gave the figure without saying on what basis.
The developer's figure is what the company said; what a permit allows is the ceiling a permit sets; measured means observed. Water is in gallons a day or a year, whichever the source stated; a tax claim given as a range shows both ends, each linked to the source that gave it.
Still not public, and where it would show up
The record adds each the day a source gives it. Why these documents.
