Greater Hazleton Chamber Hosts “Red Carpet 101: Data Centers and Energy Impacts”

The Greater Hazleton Chamber will host an educational program, “Red Carpet 101: Data Centers and Energy Impacts,” on Wednesday, April 1, from 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at Sand Springs Country Club in Drums, PA. The event includes a buffet breakfast and offers business professionals, and community members an opportunity to learn about the growing data center industry and its impact on local economies and infrastructure.

The program will feature insights from the Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development’s new study, “Exploring the Dynamics Surrounding Data Centers in Northeastern Pennsylvania.”Jill Avery Stoss, President of the Institute, will present the study, highlighting that data center impacts vary widely depending on design, siting, governance, and integration with local systems. Community outcomes are shaped by policies, planning frameworks, and infrastructure strategies, including energy sourcing, cooling systems, land use, and regulatory oversight, determining whether a facility becomes a regional asset or a local burden.
