Chester County Townships Consider Data Center Zoning Rules as Coventry Mall Proposal Is Withdrawn
Several Chester County townships are considering zoning ordinance amendments that would regulate where future data centers could be built. Separately, PGOB Coventry Holdings, LLC and PennMark Management Company, Inc. withdrew an application for an approximately 86,000-square-foot data center at the Coventry Mall in North Coventry Township.
Honey Brook, East Marlborough and West Whiteland townships were scheduled to discuss data center zoning ordinance amendments at meetings. The proposals would address where future data centers could be allowed as Chester County municipalities develop local rules for the industry.
In North Coventry Township, PGOB Coventry Holdings, LLC and PennMark Management Company, Inc. withdrew an application to redevelop part of the Coventry Mall into a nearly 86,000-square-foot data center before the proposal reached the zoning hearing board. The newsletter provided no explanation for the withdrawal or indication that the project was permanently abandoned.
