July 15, 2025 – In a massive show of confidence in America’s AI future, CoreWeave 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. This represents one of the largest single investments in AI infrastructure announced this year.
Scaling AI Infrastructure for National Competitiveness
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. This announcement comes as part of a broader AI infrastructure push that has seen CoreWeave emerge as a key player in the AI cloud computing space.
“The demand for high-performance AI compute is relentless, and CoreWeave is scaling a cloud purpose-built for AI to meet it and strengthen US leadership,” said Michael Intrator, Co-Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer of CoreWeave. “This data center will accelerate innovation and drive economic growth across the region.”
The AI Hyperscaler Revolution
CoreWeave, which brands itself as “the AI Hyperscaler™,” delivers a cloud platform of cutting-edge software powering the next wave of AI. The company’s technology provides enterprises and leading AI labs with cloud solutions for accelerated computing. Since 2017, CoreWeave has operated a growing footprint of data centers across the US and Europe.
This investment is part of CoreWeave’s broader expansion strategy, which includes their recent $9 billion acquisition of Core Scientific and plans to invest $20-23 billion in AI datacenters by end of fiscal 2025. The company was ranked as one of the TIME100 most influential companies and featured on Forbes Cloud 100 ranking in 2024.
Meeting the Insatiable Demand for AI Computing
The Pennsylvania facility represents a critical piece of infrastructure in meeting the growing demand for AI computing power. As AI models become more sophisticated and widespread adoption continues, the need for specialized data centers designed specifically for AI workloads has become paramount. CoreWeave’s investment signals confidence that this demand will continue to grow exponentially in the coming years.
This development underscores the critical role that infrastructure investments play in maintaining America’s competitive edge in the global AI race, providing the computational backbone necessary for the next generation of AI innovations.
