‘Long way to go’: Work continues on data center ordinance in Lowell Township
Lowell Township's Planning Commission is continuing to work on developing a data center ordinance, a process expected to take a significant amount of time. No action was taken on the Microsoft data center at the recent meeting, with local leaders needing to collaborate further.
The Lowell Township Planning Commission is actively engaged in the development of a new data center ordinance, a process that is anticipated to be lengthy. Planning Commission Chair David Simmons stated at a recent meeting that while progress is being made, there is still "a long way to go" before a publishable ordinance is finalized.
Simmons emphasized the need for continued collaboration among local leaders to develop the necessary regulations. No specific action was taken during last night's meeting concerning the Microsoft data center, indicating that the regulatory framework for such facilities is still in its early stages of formation.
