West Conshohocken Council Rejects Zoning Relief for 424MW Data Center
What happened
The West Conshohocken borough council unanimously rejected the zoning relief application from Brian O'Neill to build a massive hyperscale facility. The proposal called for a 424 megawatt data center on a 60-acre site near the Schuylkill River. The council voted 5-0 and recommended opposing the application at the next scheduled hearing.
