Title: While Amazon Weighs Hundreds-of-Acres AWS Campus on Lofty Road, Axiom Core Launches a 30-Acre African American–Owned Data Center on Land It Already Owns
United States, 1st Sep 2026 — The Lofty Road corridor is no longer a quiet industrial backroad. It is one of Pennsylvania’s most watched digital-infrastructure battlegrounds.Amazon Web Services has put that fact on the map. In neighboring Kline Township, AWS has advanced plans for a multi-hundred-acre data center campus off Lofty Road and Haddock Street, near Interstate 81 and Route 309. Public reports describe a site of roughly 346 to 390 acres, purchased in 2025 for about $178 million, with nine to ten data hall buildings plus support facilities totaling more than 2 million square feet — and in some accounts up to about 2.5 million square feet. The proposal has drawn packed hearings, questions on water, power, traffic, and noise, and an extended township review window into late September 2026. Nothing of that campus is built yet. The spotlight is already there.Axiom Core is stepping into that spotlight with a different offer: a compact, already-owned campus on the same Lofty Road corridor.This week the company launched plans for a full-scale data center campus on the 30-acre certified industrial site it already owns at 599 Lofty Road, Delano, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2025, Axiom Core describes the project as the first full-scale data center campus of this size under African American ownership. It is not an Amazon project, not a joint venture, and not a satellite of AWS. It is an independent campus designed to capture the same market moment — AI load, I-81 access, PPL territory, industrial land — at a scale local officials and residents can actually absorb.The contrast on Lofty RoadPublic reporting on the AWS proposal in Kline Township points to a campus of roughly 346 to 390 acres, nine to ten data halls plus support buildings, and about 2.1 to 2.5 million square feet...
