When it comes to the rapid proliferation of hyperscale data centers, there are a lack of laws, regulations, ordinances and/or zoning protections—at the local, state and federal levels—that provide the protections communities need. That’s where the Pennsylvania Green Amendment comes in.

This guide walks through how you can do just that, and provides some advocacy tools to craft your data center comments.
