CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™, announced its intent to commit more than $6 billion to equip a new, state-of-the-art data center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, purpose-built to power the most cutting-edge AI use cases. The initial 100 megawatt (MW) data center, with potential to expand to 300 MW, represents one of the first large-scale data centers of its kind in the region and will support US global competitiveness in AI. The data center will be constructed by a joint venture of Turner Construction Company and Wohlsen Construction.
The announcement was made during the CEO roundtable with President Donald J. Trump at Senator Dave McCormick’s inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, hosted at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The event included Governor Josh Shapiro, Senator John Fetterman, and other key national and state leaders and innovators.
