North Beaver Zoning Board Rejects Data Center Appeal
The North Beaver Township Zoning Hearing Board unanimously denied an appeal by S.S. Penn LLC, an affiliate of Stonebridge Associates, for a proposed data center. This decision creates further legal challenges for the developer and reflects strong local opposition to the project in North Beaver and Mahoning townships.
The North Beaver Township Zoning Hearing Board unanimously voted 4-0 to reject an appeal from S.S. Penn LLC, an affiliate of Stonebridge Associates LLC, regarding a proposed data center development. The decision, made on Thursday, constitutes a significant legal hurdle for the Bethesda, Maryland-based developer, whose project plans involve land straddling both North Beaver and Mahoning townships.
Local residents have voiced strong opposition to the data center, with protest signs visible on private properties throughout North Beaver Township and a protestor present at a July data center presentation. The board's rejection of the appeal underscores the community's lack of welcome for the data center project.
