The Morning Call  has released breaking news on the proposal for a data center at 2401 W. EMAUS AVE in South Allentown.

Data centers are a environmental and health hazard to the surrounding community. Read more about it here and here. This data center would be across the street from Camelot for Children a non- profit enriching the lives of children with serious health conditions and medical complexities and down the road from Wildlands Conservancy’s South Mountain Preserve

Please sign to show your opposition to the building of this data center. We do not want this in our community!
