Award: CoreWeave Pennsylvania data center
Value: $6 billion
Location: Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Client: CoreWeave
A joint venture of New York City-based Turner Construction and Wohlsen Construction of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has won a blockbuster data center project amid a surge of artificial intelligence-related investment in Pennsylvania.
Together, the firms will build Livingston, New Jersey-based AI hyperscaler CoreWeave’s $6 billion data center in Lancaster, according to a July 21 news release from Turner. The facility, which will be one of the first large-scale data centers of its kind in the region, will initially have a capacity of 100 megawatts, with the potential to expand to 300 megawatts.
The project is expected to create approximately 600 jobs during the build phase, per Turner.
“Pennsylvania is competing again and bringing in billions of dollars in new investment to the Commonwealth to support our technology sector, and CoreWeave’s $6 billion investment will continue to build on that work — creating good-paying jobs as Pennsylvania workers build, maintain, and operate a new AI data center in Lancaster County,” said Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in the news release.
The project news was first unveiled during the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit on July 15, where firms announced plans to invest $92 billion in AI and energy investments across the state. Google, for example, intends to invest $25 billion in the Pennsylvania-based PJM Interconnection power grid in the next two years. The event was promoted by the White House, with President Donald Trump in attendance.
