No official role for Plymouth Township's Environmental Advisory Board in zoning hearing for proposed data center in Conshohocken

The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) of Plymouth Township will not have an official role in the forthcoming zoning hearing for a proposed data center at 900 Conshohocken Road in Conshohocken. The article notes that the EAB, established in 2008 by the township council, acts in an advisory capacity solely to the Township Council on environmental matters. Township Manager Matt West confirmed this limited role, stating that the EAB's function is restricted to advising the council, not the zoning hearing board. The zoning hearing board is the entity responsible for determining whether to grant a special exception sought by the data center developer.
