Community Conversation: The Date Center Debate

Airs Thursday, February 26th at 6 p.m. on PBS39

Join PBS39 for a live discussion on data centers and the local impacts.

Community Conversation: The Data Center Debate brings together local leaders, industry experts, environmental advocates, and residents to explore what AI data centers could mean for the region. Who benefits? Who bears the cost? And how can communities balance innovation with sustainability and quality of life? 

The rise of AI is fueling demand for data centers, and in Pennsylvania, new proposals are sparking debates over their economic benefits, environmental costs, infrastructure demands, and community transparency.

Join us live Thursday, February 26th at 6 PM and be part of the conversation as a member of our live studio audience.
