East Buffalo Township postponed a public hearing on an ordinance that would regulate data center development after officials discovered that the hearing date was incorrectly listed in a newspaper advertisement.

Township Solicitor Peter Matson said the error required postponement under Pennsylvania’s Sunshine Act, which requires municipalities to provide advance public notice of meetings. A new hearing date was not provided.
