Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro set to order new limits on data center development

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is implementing new GRID standards to limit data center development across the state. These policy changes aim to balance economic growth with community and environmental responsibilities. Shapiro criticized aggressive speculators for scaring local communities and township officials. This move aligns with a broader trend of bipartisan political leaders seeking to slow the rapid expansion of data centers to ensure sustainable development and protect local interests within the Pennsylvania region.
