Archbald I LLC proposed Project Scott, an 18-building data center campus on over 400 acres next to Ed Staback Memorial Park. The company shares its Dallas address with Provident Data Centers, part of Provident Realty Advisors (WVIA, March 27, 2026). Archbald Borough Council denied the conditional use permit 5-0 on March 27, 2026. The developer filed a land-use appeal in Lackawanna County Court on April 24 and also claims the campus was approved automatically because a hearing deadline was missed; residents and the Valley View School District are contesting that (The Times-Tribune, May 2026). The project is on hold while the courts decide. No capacity was published. Source: The Scranton Times-Tribune, 2026-05-01.
