A Proposed Data Center Campus for Allenwood, PA

PNK Group is advancing a phased data center concept at 198 Enterprise Boulevard in Allenwood, beginning with reuse of an existing industrial building and expanding over time as infrastructure and approvals progress.

Data Center Project Overview

PNK Group is a vertically integrated developer, investor, and builder of multifunctional industrial buildings, managing the full project lifecycle from land acquisition and engineering to manufacturing and construction.

By leveraging proprietary technology and engineering solutions, PNK delivers high-quality industrial facilities more efficiently than traditional methods. In response to growing regional demand for data center capacity, PNK is developing a state-of-the-art data center campus in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. The company employs an efficient construction approach by completing the bulk of work off-site. Its streamlined Building Assembly Set (BAS) method minimizes noise and disruption on-site, ensuring quieter and more predictable project delivery.

We know projects like this raise important questions about land use, power, traffic, jobs, and community impact. This website is here to explain what is being studied, share current information, and give residents and stakeholders in Gregg Township, Union County, and Central Pennsylvania a direct way to stay informed.

Allenwood At-A-Glance

Location

Great Stream Commons Industrial Park
198 Enterprise Boulevard
Allenwood, Union County, PA.

Construction

Phased development beginning with reuse and retrofit of the existing facility, followed by later expansion as approvals, power infrastructure, and market demand align.

Campus Size

Phased campus anchored by an existing ~478,000-square-foot one-story building, with potential expansion through two or three new one-story buildings of about 1 million square feet in total.

Water Use

No additional consumption. The data center is designed with a closed-loop water system, limiting water usage to domestic consumption only.

Power Supply

The Allenwood data center will receive power from the regional electric grid through new infrastructure built in coordination with PPL. This includes a dedicated substation on the campus and upgraded lines, with power delivered in phases, starting with about 60 MW in 2027 and increasing as additional infrastructure is completed

Fiber Network

The site is positioned within regional reach of major carrier hotels in New York City and Pennsylvania, supporting connectivity to national fiber backbones and cloud networks.

Noise

The noise level at the Allenwood residential area will not change.

Visuals of the Proposed Allenwood Campus

Conceptual renderings and masterplan graphics help illustrate how the proposed Allenwood campus could be organized on the site, including reuse of the existing building and potential new buildings in future phases. These images are preliminary and may change as design, engineering, and local review continue.

Why a Data Center in Allenwood, Union County?

Existing industrial building that can be repurposed rather than starting from an entirely new greenfield site.

Access to planned utility infrastructure for significant power delivery over time.

Room on the property for phased growth and supporting infrastructure. 

Reach to major carriers and regional network hubs in New York and Pennsylvania.

Allenwood and Gregg Township also offer a setting where long-term relationships matter. The project materials highlight the importance of constructive engagement with township supervisors, the planning commission, and regional stakeholders as part of the approvals process.

Potential benefits for Allenwood, Gregg Township, and Union County

A project of this scale can create opportunities over multiple years, beginning with construction, civil work, electrical infrastructure, and building retrofit, and continuing into long‑term facility operations and services.

The phased approach means that workforce needs would grow over time rather than all at once, giving local contractors, trades, and service providers in Union County and Central Pennsylvania chances to participate as the project advances. Specific job numbers will be refined as engineering and schedules become more detailed.

New investment at 198 Enterprise Boulevard has the potential to expand the local tax base and contribute to long-term fiscal stability for Gregg Township and Union County.

The project team has identified development of a community benefit plan as a key next step, and is reviewing examples from other communities where data center projects have supported local priorities such as economic development, infrastructure, and clean energy programs. Any Allenwood‑specific approach would be shaped in consultation with local officials and stakeholders.

Data centers are part of the physical backbone that keeps cloud services, communications, and digital tools running. By connecting to major carrier hotels and regional fiber networks, a project in Allenwood would contribute to the broader digital infrastructure that supports businesses, institutions, and residents across Central Pennsylvania.

While the project is not a direct retail broadband provider, it would sit within the ecosystem that underpins regional connectivity and digital competitiveness.

The Allenwood concept is closely tied to utility planning and infrastructure upgrades.The project will be supported by new electrical infrastructure built in coordination with PPL to ensure reliable power for the site.

The project team is working through formal feasibility and planning processes with PPL and recognizes that clear communication about power infrastructure, timelines, and local impacts is essential for residents and stakeholders.
