About the site:

1. Brian has numerous lawsuits alleging breach of contract on the Renaissance Blvd sites and owes millions to prior contractors. This winter, he was protested at Renaissance Blvd by union workers who have not been paid for over 3 years.

2. This site will generate power on prem with a projected capacity of 1.65GW.

3. This site is a sister site to O’Neill’s other data center proposed in Conshy at the old Cliffs steel mill.

Hi all,

Brian O’Neill’s OTHER 2mi sq ft. data center in Conshohocken will be discussed on June 25th at 7pm. This is a Zoning Hearing Board and will take place at Colonial Middle School.

For those who attended the Upper Merion meeting, the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) is similar to your Board of Supervisors meeting. This application has already gone through a Planning Agency meeting in October where it was denied. Now, the developer needs the approval from the ZHB.

Please consider showing up to show O’Neill out. Your neighbors need you.

About the site:

• Quite literally across the street from a park and densely populated neighborhood.
• This neighborhood was already subjected to the Covanta trash incinerator and was eminent domained by the Blue Route.
• Brian is planning a 900MW-1GW diesel and natural gas fired power plant onsite.
• Natural gas turbines emit hazardous air pollutants as a byproduct of natural gas combustion and emit particulate matter, which has long term health implications.
• There will be smokestacks, but they have been lowered to not interfere with the skyline of the building.
• The site has a permit to access the Schuylkill River.
• The site was initially recommended to be rezoned under the Plymouth2040 strategic plan and was advertised for mixed use, but Brian wants money so he wants to keep Conshy industrial.
• The site is also next to the Proving Grounds, where thousands of young athletes travel every year for their games.
