The Lower Mount Bethel Technology Center is a data center campus proposed by Peron Development, J.G. Petrucci Company and Talen Energy south of the Martins Creek-Belvidere Highway on DePues Ferry Road, next to Talen's Martins Creek and Lower Mount Bethel power plants. The developers dropped an earlier plan for about 450 acres at Gravel Hill Road and now seek to rezone a smaller site, most of it in agricultural preservation. Lower Mount Bethel Township adopted an ordinance in September 2026 that makes data centers a conditional use in its industrial district, and the rezoning petition is under planning review. No end user has been named.
