Proposed-site record

Wildcat Ridge Data Center

Wildcat Ridge remains a blocked or paused Archbald proposal. Public planning and legislative materials corroborate the conditional-use review and campus scale, but do not establish utility service, water quantities, energized capacity, or data-center IT load.

Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Data Fields

Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Archbald's February 2026 Planning Commission agenda records Wildcat Ridge Data Center Campus as a conditional-use review item, but the public agenda does not disclose a cooling method, water source, withdrawal, service quantity, or wastewater capacity. Preserve those fields as unresolved.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the Archbald planning agenda confirms a Wildcat Ridge conditional-use review, while the Pennsylvania legislative report describes the broader 17.2-million-square-foot, $2.1-billion campus. Neither source classifies the dataset's >1,000 MW label as requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity; the proposal remains status-sensitive.
