Scranton Materials: Ransom Township Quarry

Lot Size: 253 acres

Scranton Materials LLC proposed six data center buildings, each about 214 by 732 feet and up to 120 feet tall, on its quarry in Ransom Township, Lackawanna County. Township supervisors denied the requested data center overlay 2-1 in January 2026, and the company's appeal is before the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas. Ransom's October 2026 ordinance does not allow data centers in the quarry's zoning district.

Site History

  • October 2026: Ransom Township adopts data center rules that exclude the quarry's district.
  • January 2026: Supervisors deny the overlay.
