Fortune: Rural Pennsylvania $165M Amazon Data Center Fight Becomes Epicenter of Bipartisan AI Backlash

Fortune profiles Project Hazelnut — a $165M, 1,300-acre data center in Hazle Township, PA developed by NorthPoint for Amazon — as a bipartisan flashpoint. NorthPoint offered the township's 4,500 residents a '$10,000 payday,' while 30 Sugarloaf Township properties face eminent-domain threats for a high-voltage line. Governor Shapiro fast-tracked permits then reversed in August. National polling: 70% of Americans (75% Democrats, 63% Republicans) oppose data centers in their areas.
