Tensions flare between attorneys at Throop Data Center Zoning hearing
The POWER advocacy group challenged Throop Borough's zoning provisions allowing data centers in environmental conservation areas during a contentious zoning hearing. The hearing featured disputes between POWER's attorney Donna Davis and Throop Borough attorney Bill Jones, while the board proceeded with only two members present.
The POWER advocacy group, represented by attorney Donna Davis, opposed construction of data centers in Throop environmental conservation areas during a Throop Borough Zoning Board hearing in Lackawanna County. Davis argued that proceeding with only two available board members was unfair after three members were unable to attend.
The hearing was further delayed when Throop Borough attorney Bill Jones presented a motion to dismiss POWER's challenge. Repeated objections between Jones and Davis caused tensions to escalate among the attorneys and members of the public, but the article does not report a final decision on the zoning challenge.
