(Wampum, PA) The closure of Pittsburgh International Race Complex on November 9, 2025, surprised many in the local racing community.

According to property records, the land was sold for $50 million.

In a news release, Switch announced plans to build a data center campus on the property. The company said the development would span an area roughly equivalent to 300 football fields.

However, some residents in Big Beaver have raised concerns about the project’s potential impact on local resources, particularly water usage.
