Pennsylvania context
Pennsylvania has 50 documented local actions across 48 jurisdictions in this snapshot. There is no statewide restriction, incentive rollback, or large-load tariff on record for Pennsylvania in this snapshot.
A town that says no to a data center gives up local tax revenue, not jobs: one large campus pays $2M to $90M a year depending on the tax regime, against roughly 50 permanent jobs. The parent piece prices it and lists the conditions that beat a ban.
