Description

Description

More than 4,000 people attended the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors’ yearly conference in Hershey where data centers were the main topic. The discussion focused on where data centers should be located, the local decision-making process, and which communities can host data centers. The issue is divisive due to misinformation and state legislatures prohibiting municipalities from excluding data centers through zoning, requiring every township to plan for them. Local control is emphasized as the key factor in determining data center siting.
