Pottstown Data Center, Pottstown, Pennsylvania

Constellation Energy's proposed data center on New Schuylkill Road and Sanatoga Road near Pottstown, in East Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, was withdrawn on February 17, 2026. Constellation Energy Generation pulled its application asking the Board of Supervisors to amend the township's zoning code to allow data centers, and the public hearing set for March 9, 2026 was canceled.

Plans for a data center on the site surfaced in November 2025. Constellation had not shared full details of the campus, but its application said each building would be up to 150,000 square feet, on land near the Route 724 highway.

In December 2025 the East Coventry Township Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend rejecting the zoning change. Planning commission chairman Lawrence Tietjen said the township was under no obligation to change its zoning, because as a member of the Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Planning Commission it does not have to zone for every use, and neighboring Douglass Township already allows data centers.

Any new attempt to build a data center on the East Coventry land would need a zoning change from the East Coventry Township Board of Supervisors. Gov. Josh Shapiro's data center executive order also requires developers to obtain all local approvals before the Department of Environmental Protection will review their permits.
