Project Forge is a two-building data center campus planned on the former Cyprus Foote Mineral Superfund site in East Whiteland Township, Chester County. 1547 Critical Systems Realty and Green Fig Land Company planned the campus from 2022. Sentinel Data Centers joined the project in 2024 and bought the land in January 2026.
The township approved the final land development plan in August 2024 for two buildings of about 772,000 sq ft each. PECO plans to serve the campus with two 230 kV supplies to an on-site substation. Earthwork began in July 2026 and has been halted by stop-work orders over the site's contaminated soil. Foundation permits for both buildings are pending, and the township denied the substation and monopole permits in October 2026. Residents have fought the project in court; a judge dismissed their land-use challenges in June 2026, and a new suit is threatened.
