On the site plan for the proposed Muncy Data Center in Muncy Township is the name Livic Civil, an engineering firm that does a ton of work in Lycoming County and the region.

The principal and co-founder of this company is Justin Ross, who also is currently chief operating officer and head engineer for Pennsylvania Data Partners.

In July of 2025, Pennsylvania Data Center Partners announced a $15 billion joint venture with PowerHouse Data Centers to build the central Pennsylvania next-generation artificial intelligence hub.

This was announced at the widely publicized and covered Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh on July 15, 2025. It featured prominent leaders of energy companies in the state and was widely supported by U.S. Sen. David McCormick, R-Pittsburgh.

The joint venture of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers is considered groundbreaking for artificial intelligence infrastructure, as it puts Pennsylvania at the heart of the nation’s emerging artificial intelligence technology economy, according to Pennsylvania Data Centers website. It has begun what is known as hyperscale data center development.

Attempts to reach Livic Civil for comment were not immediately successful.

Muncy Township in eastern Lycoming County has received a zoning permit application by client DANKO Holdings II/Fishlips LLC for a data center complex dated April 15 for a project consisting of three data center buildings near the West Branch of the Susquehanna River on a parcel along John Brady Drive, near Yetter Road and about two miles east of the closed Lycoming Mall.

The zoning permit application for the data center in the township delineates the proposed type of activity, proposed use as non-residential. It also lists the building and yard dimensions, structural site information and support information as it would in these types of applications. The total square footage of the floor area is listed at approximately 699,574 square feet including auxiliary buildings. The existing use is vacant industrial land.

The township has a temporary nine-month moratorium on data centers and similar high-intensity data processing facilities.

The pause was said to be designed to give township officials time to draft and adopt zoning regulations for this type of infrastructure.
