Residents urge Indiana County commissioners to oppose proposed gas power plant and data centers
Summary
During public comment on Earth Day, six residents told the commissioners they oppose a proposed gas power plant and data centers in Center Township and called for county action to halt the projects.
Multiple residents used the public‑comment period at the April 22 Indiana County Commissioners meeting to voice opposition to a proposed gas power plant and to planned data-center development in Center Township.
Rebecca Myers, Abigail Trimble, Jessica Jopp, Alex Cyrtze, Lynda Santos and Carolyn Trimarchi spoke during the Earth Day segment of the meeting and expressed environmental concerns and opposition to the projects as described in the meeting minutes. The minutes record that these speakers made public comment regarding Earth Day and their opposition to the proposed gas power plant and data centers in Center Township.
The minutes do not record any formal response from the commissioners nor do they show a subsequent motion or directive related to the projects. The opposition thus remained a matter of public comment at this session rather than a board action.
The meeting also included an Earth Day proclamation that the board approved unanimously. The next regular meeting is set for May 13, 2026, where residents or advocates could request agenda time or a formal hearing if they wish the board to consider taking action.
