My family’s farm and America’s founding promise
A family farm in Pennsylvania, which has been in the family for nearly two centuries, is threatened by plans for a large data center campus. The proposed development would require rezoning agricultural land, raising concerns about property rights and government transparency. This situation reflects broader issues regarding the value of agricultural land and the rights of families who have tended it for generations.
- ▪The farm has been in the family for nearly 200 years and is currently run by the author's mother.
- ▪Developers plan to build a 1.2-gigawatt data center on adjacent agricultural land, which is zoned for farming.
- ▪The township has not required a supermajority vote or binding public hearing for the rezoning process.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
My farm in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, has been in our family for nearly two centuries. My great-great-grandparents worked it with their hands. My grandparents ran it as a dairy. My mother lives on it still. I bought my own piece of that land — a patch of earth I’ve been planning to retire to, where I had hoped to plant apple trees, cherry trees, and pumpkins beside her. Now, two developers want to build a 1.2-gigawatt data center campus on 450 acres adjacent to our farm, and everything my family has worked for is under threat.
