NorthPoint Development is pursuing a real estate tax break from Luzerne County for an ambitious project involving a 15-building data center situated on a sprawling 1,280-acre site in Hazle Township. This substantial investment aims to bolster the local economy by creating jobs and enhancing technological infrastructure in the region.

The proposed data center is expected to attract significant attention from tech companies and could serve as a vital hub for data storage and processing. As the demand for data services continues to grow, this development could position Hazle Township as a key player in the technology sector.

Local officials are considering the request for tax incentives, which proponents argue will stimulate economic growth and encourage further investments in the area. The project has the potential to transform the landscape of Hazle Township, bringing both immediate benefits and long-term opportunities for residents and businesses alike. Community leaders are optimistic about the positive impact this development could have on the region's future.
