Take Action · Recruiting Station

Three ways to fight.

Pick one. Do it today. Do another tomorrow.

A signature alone doesn't stop a project. The PA Senate Majority Leader sits on every regulatory bill that would slow this down — and his district is ours. Below: the three actions that actually move the record. The middle one is the escalation pipeline — parallel filings on the federal, regulatory, and press channels that don't need anyone in Harrisburg's permission.

SIGNATURES OF RECORD

/ 1,000

Armstrong County residents are shown in bold on the public signature wall.

Every signature is confirmed by email before it counts. The number we hand to state and federal officials is the number that survived a confirmation click — not a raw form-submit total. That is what makes it credible at a public meeting.

Escalate.

Bypass the bottleneck. File in parallel.

EST. TIME · 15 MINUTES

Local supervisors haven't endorsed this — they're not on this list, because pressuring people who haven't acted is counter-productive. The actual chokepoint is Harrisburg, where Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R-41, Indiana) is sitting on four House data-center regulatory bills (HB 1834, 2150, 2151, 2246) while having taken $5,000 from CNX's PAC and personally endorsed the TECfusions data-center project at its launch.

One email is the start, not the end. Below: the federal delegation and conflicted state officials in step 2A; then in step 2B, parallel filings on regulatory, watchdog, transparency, and press channels that operate independently of the PA legislature. Even if Harrisburg ignores you, the record gets built.

§2B · PARALLEL RECORD CHANNELS — NOT ON HARRISBURG'S LEASH

File on every channel that does not need a governor's permission.

Federal regulators, independent watchdogs, transparency offices, and journalists each operate on their own track. The Heatmap News story documenting Amazon's NDA-bound early access to PA Fast Track came from a single citizen Right-to-Know request. The Talen-AWS FERC rejection came from ratepayer-advocate filings. Build the record in many places at once.

FERC is not accountable to the PA governor. Christie/See's November 2024 rejection of the Talen-AWS ISA was a direct response to ratepayer-advocate filings. The Swett-era FERC has reopened the question — comments now shape the new co-location service categories.

EPA can override state delegation when state enforcement falls below federal floors. Region 3 has direct authority over PA. Even when EPA doesn't formally intervene, regional offices forward complaints to inspectors general — which is how federal scrutiny actually starts.

Two meetings. Different leverage. Both matter.

EST. TIME · 90 MINUTES

§3A · LOCAL — WHERE THE APPLICATION LIVES

The South Bend Township Supervisors are the ones with legal authority over a land-use application in this township. They also have the authority to pass a data-center ordinance before any application is filed — Gilpin Township passed one on April 23, 2026 with 200-ft setbacks, water and noise studies, and sound limits at the property line. That ordinance is the template. The supervisors will not adopt it unless residents stand in their meeting and ask for it.

§3B · COUNTY — WHERE THE PRESS COVERS IT

Armstrong County Commissioners can't approve or deny the application — that is township authority. But they can pass county-wide resolutions, formally oppose state preemption bills, and put pressure on Harrisburg. They are also the venue where regional reporters cover the story. Bring residents from multiple townships. The headline changes from “township opposes” to “county opposes” — and that is what shifts the state-level conversation.

Quiet wins for the developer. The public record wins for the corridor.

Forward this page to a neighbor. Every filing on every channel survives whatever Harrisburg chooses to ignore.
