Project Steelton
Overview
Project Steelton is a brownfield location situated at 215 S. Front Street in Steelton, Pennsylvania, along the Susquehanna River just south of Harrisburg, the state capital. Located within the Harrisburg–Central Pennsylvania industrial corridor, the site benefits from excellent access to multimodal transportation, a skilled manufacturing labor pool, and robust utility infrastructure. Zoned for heavy industrial, technology, or advanced manufacturing purposes, Project Steelton is one of the most well-equipped and infrastructure-rich campuses in the Mid-Atlantic region. Leading hyperscalers such as AWS, Google, Meta, and Microsoft generally require multiple diverse long-haul paths to ensure redundancy and minimize latency. Positioned strategically between Ashburn, New York City, Pittsburgh, and the Midwest, Steelton is an ideal hub for large-scale AI interconnectivity. The site creates a low-latency network triangle with latencies of approximately 4–6 ms to Ashburn (via I-83/I-95 fiber corridors), 3–5 ms to Philadelphia, 6–8 ms to New York City, and 8–10 ms to Pittsburgh. This makes it especially suitable for AI training clusters that require high-bandwidth east-west traffic, low-latency replication, and multi-region redundancy.

Project Details
Location:
215 S. Front Street in Steelton, Pennsylvania
Size:
280+/- acres
On-Site Power
Power Available (Now Power): 300MW - The on site existing substations have the capacity to handle 420MW
Behind the Meter - Power Generation with Approximate Date for In Service: There is opportunity for "behind the meter" power generation, natural gas is on site so recips and aeroderivative unit would be best.
Total Power from Grid Connection: 900MW - in 36-42 months.
Electric Provider: PPL Electric Utilities
High-capacity industrial feeders serving site operations for heavy power demands
Substation infrastructure on and just outside of the property
Transmission-level power available in the corridor through the PPL transmission powerlines
Capability: Supports large high-load industrial processes.
Data Center Campus/Manufacturing
200-450MW of load demand, more demand with Data Centers
Construction and operation of (1) – new substations – (to be constructed)
Water
Cooling Water/Wastewater Treatment / Sewer:
Steelton Borough Sewer System
Municipal sewer service with industrial pretreatment historically in place
On – site sewer/wastewater lines
NPDES permits cover industrial wastewater discharges. The site's established water access and infrastructure (including river withdrawals regulated by the Susquehanna River Basin Commission).
Wastewater treatment and stormwater management are also in place under permits
Fiber
Zayo, Strong presence along I-83, I-81, and Harrisburg metro Zayo’s East-West backbone (NYC Chicago) passes through Central PA; hyperscalers frequently lease dark fiber here.
Lumen (CenturyLink/Level 3), Backbone routes through Harrisburg. Lumen is a primary hyperscaler transport provider; their Harrisburg POP is a key node.
Verizon Business – Dense metro + long-haul, Verizon’s legacy MCI network runs through Harrisburg; major east-coast backbone.
AT&T Long-haul and metro, AT&T’s national backbone crosses the region with multiple redundant paths.
Crown Castle Fiber – Metro + regional transport, Often used for data center laterals and enterprise connectivity.
Windstream Wholesale – Long-haul through Central PA, Windstream’s ICON network is increasingly used for AI-scale bandwidth.
Natural Gas Infrastructure
On-site Pipeline
Provider: UGI Utilities
Medium- and high-pressure gas mains serving the Steelton industrial corridor
Capability: Suitable for large industrial and manufacturing loads and cogeneration.
