Pennsylvania Game Commission to Vote on Land Swap Raising Concerns Over Second Data Center in Limerick
The Pennsylvania Game Commission will vote on January 24 on a land swap involving 614 acres in Berks and Delaware counties and Limerick, in exchange for 55 acres of state game lands near the former Publicker distillery. Concerns have been raised by state Senator Katie Muth about the potential for a second data center in Limerick Township.
A prior proposal for a 1.4-million-square-foot data center has already been submitted for a site near the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. The area is zoned for heavy industrial use, which is suitable for data centers.
Limerick Town Center LLC has proposed two buildings: a 1,154,600 square-foot trucking terminal and a 761,600 square-foot warehouse. The Game Commission's meeting will also cover additional land swaps, totaling 614 acres of new state game land in exchange for 55 acres from State Game Lands 234.
