Community fund dashboard
Marrow Run Community Fund
The fund created by the community benefit agreement between Marrow Run Township, Pennsylvania and Ridgeline Data Campus. Held by the regional community foundation. Priorities set by a council of residents. Every dollar in, every grant out, every reading, every commitment, posted here as it happens.
Money in, by quarter
Operator pays $4,000 per energized megawatt per year, quarterly, escalating 2.5% each January. The enterprise buyer's match began in the second quarter under the standard's matched contribution mechanism.
Grants by priority
Priorities were set by the advisory council from the needs assessment published in March 2025. Water came first because the township asked for it first.
Noise at the property line
Monthly nighttime readings at the nearest homes on Quarry Road. The agreement's limit is 50 dBA at night. Readings are taken by the township's contractor, not the operator's.
Water drawn, gallons a day
Monthly average from the water authority's meter. Closed-loop cooling; the cap in the agreement is 20,000 gallons a day. The previous occupant of the site drew about 90,000.
Backup generator hours
Hours run each quarter, against the 120-hour annual cap in the agreement. All hours to date are scheduled daytime testing. The agreement does not yet prohibit running the generators for demand response; the council has asked for that condition at permit renewal.
Load ramp: contracted and energized
What the utility agreement says will be delivered by year, and what is actually drawing power. The contribution is calculated on the energized figure. Full build-out is 240 MW in 2028.
Fund statement, from the foundation
Reproduced from the regional community foundation's quarterly statement for the restricted fund. The foundation holds and disburses; neither the operator nor Baseload Commons touches the money.
Every grant
Recommended by the advisory council, confirmed by the foundation as within the fund rules, and paid to the named organization. Nothing is granted to individuals or to the operator.

The agreement, commitment by commitment
Every commitment in the executed community benefit agreement, its measure, the latest result, and whether it is being kept. Checked each quarter by the township and the council. The agreement itself is linked below.

Advisory council
Seven seats, five held by residents. Facilitated by an independent facilitator contracted by the Council, not by the operator or by Baseload Commons. The operator holds a seat and no vote on distributions.
Meetings held: 6 (quarterly, open to the public, minutes posted within 14 days). Next meeting: September 17, 2026, 6:30 p.m., township building.
What the operator owes directly
Some commitments in the agreement are the operator's own obligations and are never paid from the community fund. They are listed here so the distinction is visible.
Documents and checks
Everything a resident, a supervisor, or a reporter would need to check any figure on this page.
Independent assessment. Assessment under the Compute Stewardship Standard is scheduled for the third quarter of 2027, once the program has eight quarters of published record. The scorecard will be linked here and at computestewardship.com/scorecards. Until then, nothing on this page is certified; it is reported.
This dashboard is a worked example published by Baseload Commons to show the format a real program publishes. Marrow Run Township, Ridgeline Data Campus, the regional community foundation, and all figures are fictional. In a real program the dashboard is funded in the build fee and stays online, with its full history, for the operating life of the facility and through decommissioning, whether or not Baseload Commons remains engaged.
