Amazon may be looking to develop more data centers in Pennsylvania.

The Morning Call, citing two people with knowledge of the matter, reports Amazon is in discussions to potentially develop a data center campus at the River Pointe Commerce Center in northern Northampton County.

Amazon is reportedly in discussions with Upper Mount Bethel Township, with officials telling the public at a recent town hall that a “major corporation” with good-paying jobs could be coming – with minimal impact on traffic and local services.

Further details haven’t been shared; Amazon and the officials did not provide comment to the publication.

However, Northampton County Council President Lori Vargo Heffner told the Morning Call she had heard about prospects of a data center. She said if Amazon comes, it would bolster the Slate Belt’s needs for jobs and funding.

The River Pointe Commerce Park is a new industrial park being developed at the former Portland Generating Station electric plant. Dating back to the late 1950s, the plant had two coal-powered units totaling more than 400MW; they were both retired by GenOn Energy in 2016. The site was acquired for redevelopment into an industrial park in 2019. At full build-out, the park will total millions of square feet of industrial space across more than a dozen buildings.

Amazon has one existing data center in Pennsylvania. The company acquired a 48MW data center and land in Salem Township, Luzerne County, in March. The existing facility is powered by nuclear energy from Talen Energy’s adjacent Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES).

Over the summer, Salem Township Supervisors voted 3-0 to rezone nearly 1,600 acres of land into a new industrial Special Data Center Overlay District. Amazon officials said the company hopes to construct 15 data center buildings over the course of the next decade. Talen previously said the campus can support up to 960MW.
