The Stewards of Cumberland County will host an informational Data Center Panel at the Carlisle Theater on June 11, 2026 from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. With Doors opening at 6 pm.
This event responds to growing public demand around the region for a clear, unbiased forum where residents can ask questions and hear directly from experts about the impacts of hyperscale data center development in Central Pennsylvania. Topics will include community impacts; zoning and land use policy; water usage, sourcing, and permitting; electrical infrastructure and grid demand; and long-term implications for local municipalities.
Panelists will include subject matter experts on data centers, water resources, energy and climate, and the legislative environment surrounding data centers. Panelists will not include anyone affiliated with the existing data center build in Middlesex Township, ensuring an independent and fact-based discussion.
Questions will be fielded throughout the session with a focus on making complex topics accessible and relevant to residents. Attendance is free, and prior registration is not required.
This event is funded by a small group of concerned residents of Cumberland County who believe this forum is critical to the future of our county.
