From the meeting
The Planning Commission continued work on Proposed Ordinance 183, which would classify data centers as conditional use structures in Penn Township zoning rules. Township Solicitor Anthony Cosgrove said the draft should be shown to the public before final approval, and the county may review it for 30 to 45 days before public hearings and enactment. The commission voted to recommend the ordinance with the latest changes.
This is a policy trigger for data center-related site work, utilities, and development support once the ordinance moves forward.
