Misty Hollow Data Center Coalition: Community Fund

The Misty Hollow Data Center Coalition is organizing and managing this fundraiser to cover legal representation and public-awareness expenses for residents who oppose the proposed Misty Hollow Energy and Data Campus in Forward Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.

The coalition is coordinating the fundraising, legal-support efforts, and community outreach associated with this campaign.

What is being proposed?

Forward Township’s published preliminary plans describe a data center with an approximately one-million-square-foot footprint, an on-site 300-megawatt power-generation facility, a domestic and industrial wastewater treatment facility, and supporting buildings and infrastructure at 614 Prospect Road. The township states that the plans remain under review, may change, and have not been approved simply because they were submitted. Forward Township, Butler County PA

Why residents are organizing

Participating residents have questions about environmental resources, privacy, infrastructure demands, and the potential long-term effects on their homes and surrounding communities.

The coalition wants these concerns examined during the review process, with access to relevant information, legal advice, and opportunities for public participation. These are concerns requiring examination—not a claim that particular environmental, health, or property impacts have already been established.

The coalition’s stated goal is to oppose the proposed development through legal representation and public participation.

How donations will be used

Legal assistance and representation:

Funds will help cover the cost of hiring attorneys to review the proposal and related documents, advise participating residents, and evaluate available legal options.

Public information and awareness:

Funds will also support signs, advertisements, and community materials explaining the proposal, residents’ concerns, and opportunities to participate in the review process.

These are the intended uses of this fundraiser.

Contributions will support this work but cannot guarantee a particular legal decision or development outcome.

Who is responsible for the fundraiser?

The Misty Hollow Data Center Coalition is responsible for organizing this campaign, managing the donations, and coordinating the legal and public-awareness work funded through it.
