410 acres of farmland at 2493 N. Cedar Crest Boulevard. Edged’s own campus page says it will pay for the power and infrastructure upgrades. Data Center Dynamics, working from the revised township filing, reports 725 MW across three buildings — down from a six-building, 5.1 million-square-foot first draft.
Township documents cited up to $9 billion when the plan was six buildings; the live filing is three halls, about 1.5 million square feet.
South Whitehall is a $2.53 billion tax base; Parkland is $8.93 billion. 725 MW at $10 million/MW is $7.25 billion of taxable buildings — enough to more than double the township.
