From the meeting
At its September 14, 2026 meeting the board gave the 1st reading to a temporary moratorium on data center applications, and the resolution was adopted as a moratorium effective through October 12, 2027. The township said it will promptly undertake a study and evaluation to identify new zoning regulations for data centers. That makes the next phase the policy and ordinance work before any future applications can move.
The vote was unanimous.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Penn's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
