Members question whether Lancaster County has power and bandwidth to attract data centers
Summary
Committee members discussed the county's bandwidth and energy capacity for potential data centers, noting a planned 10‑gig circuit bid but stressing that power availability would likely be the larger constraint.
Committee members raised questions about whether Lancaster County could host a data center or other high‑use technology business. One member asked directly, "Do we have the infrastructure to be able to take on that kind of business?" and noted prior conversations with a developer about a technology hub.
Another member said the committee was bidding a 10‑gig circuit and noted backhaul capacity could be substantial, but added that energy supply was a primary concern: "That's the bigger the power would be, the bigger question than the data." Members concluded this topic warranted further discussion at a later meeting when county staff could provide more detailed technical and energy‑infrastructure information.
