This website provides clear, factual information about the proposed Forge Data Center in East Whiteland Township. We are building digital infrastructure that supports today’s critical technology while respecting the community that calls East Whiteland home.
Data centers are the physical facilities that store and process the digital information powering modern life—from healthcare and emergency services to cloud computing, local businesses, and artificial intelligence.
Large development projects naturally raise questions about environmental impact, infrastructure, and quality of life. The Forge Data Center is designed as a low-impact, community-first project with a simple commitment: to operate safely, responsibly, and quietly while bringing lasting economic value to East Whiteland Township without burdening local infrastructure or municipal services.
