Residents protest outside data center hearing in Limerick Township

Limerick Township, Pennsylvania, is currently evaluating a proposal for a large data center development. On Monday, the Township's Board of Supervisors convened a special hearing to discuss plans for a nearly 3-million square foot facility, which developers aim to construct between the Limerick Generating Station and the Philadelphia Premium Outlets. The proposed project has drawn significant local opposition. Residents gathered outside the administration building to protest during the hearing, expressing their concerns regarding the potential environmental risks and economic costs associated with the data center. The Board of Supervisors did not reach a decision on the project during Monday's session. The hearing is slated to continue on June 16th, allowing for further discussion and consideration of the development proposal and community feedback.
