INDIANA COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — Officials in Indiana County have now revealed what is replacing the former Homer City Power Plant.

According to the Homer City Redevelopment group, a 32-hundred acre natural gas powered data center will be built on the property.

The redevelopment authority says it’s being designed to meet the growing need for artificial intelligence and high performance computing.

Officials with the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce say the project will create 10-thousand construction-related jobs, and approximately 1,000 permanent technology and other related jobs.

Construction of the site is expected to get underway later this year, with power production expected by 2027.
