State senator (R) profited from $30M property sale for a massive data center development
HARRISBURG — A Pennsylvania state senator made money from the $30 million sale of property last year to a developer building a massive, controversial data center project in Cumberland County.
A career real estate agent and chair of the state's Republican Party, Greg Rothman said he was not involved in the June 2025 sale to a data center developer. However, he confirmed that RSR Realtors — a company that his father founded and that he chairs — had, through its relationship with the property’s previous owner, “received a real estate fee for the sale of the land only.”
Real estate advisor Igal Feibush, who also represented the seller, separately said that Rothman was paid for prior work when the deal closed last year, alongside several other brokers and consultants. Feibush now serves as CEO of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners, which is overseeing the PAX-1 development.
Rothman did not respond to a question about how much he was paid, and Feibush declined to say.
