Blakely Data Center Project

cancelled

A proposed data center project in Blakely involving up to four data centers on roughly 200 acres of land owned by Jim Marzolino and Alpesh Patel. The project faced significant community opposition and was withdrawn days before a scheduled zoning public hearing. The developers had sought to rezone the land from low density residential to commercial to build the data centers. Alternatives included fewer data centers, single-family homes, or retaining the current zoning with limited development. The project cancellation was attributed to the borough not rescheduling a public hearing to allow a second public information session.
