Americold is selling its high-rise automated cold storage warehouse in West Hempfield Township, which has been identified as a potential data center site due to its size and proximity to high-voltage transmission lines, despite new zoning rules limiting data center size in the area.

Your chance to repurpose a rare high-rise asset as a data centre is shaped by new local rules capping size severely. If you work in data hosting, act fast to navigate zoning limits and secure large facilities before others adjust to this shift.
