What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

DTA Alliance LLC, along with sand quarry and Murphy’s Meadow LLC, proposed a large data center complex in Lower Towamensing Township. The plan includes a 375,000-square-foot building in Bowmanstown and 14 buildings over 700 acres in Lower Towamensing Township. The applicants filed a curative amendment challenging the borough’s zoning ordinance, claiming it does not permit data center use in the municipality.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The filing seeks to allow data centers as a permitted use within an overlay district as a conditional use on 55 acres near the Ore and Ridge Street intersection in Bowmanstown. The proposal involves substantial industrial expansion and requires the local government to amend its zoning rules to accommodate the project.
