Jai Smith is the founder and editor-in-chief of Lehigh Daily, an independent, reader-funded news outlet covering Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton, Pennsylvania. Since launching it in June 2024, he has reported on Lehigh Valley government, development and community life, and he shoots the photos and video and builds the site himself. He has spoken on Lenfest Institute panels about local news, appeared on WHYY, and works with Free Press on Pennsylvania legislation to fund local journalism. He lives in Bethlehem.

The two-story project at 2184 Industrial Drive sits in the city's Planned Industrial district, where the ordinance would ban data centers. Boyle Construction, Paxos and Tensor IQ announced it in August, with a projected peak demand of about 120 megawatts.
