Middlesex Twp. Supervisors to vote on data center plan tonight
Middlesex Township supervisors are scheduled to vote on a controversial data center project tonight. Despite ongoing legal challenges and a judge's order for the developer and township to justify continued construction, the vote will proceed. Opponents have consistently voiced strong concerns about the $15 billion project.
Middlesex Township supervisors are set to vote tonight on final approval for a controversial $15 billion data center project. This decision comes amidst a legal battle where Common Pleas Judge Matthew Smith has ordered the developer and the township to explain within two weeks why construction should continue, as the project is already underway despite a lack of final approval.
Neighbors have repeatedly packed township meetings to voice their concerns, with previous meetings being delayed or moved due to the overwhelming turnout. The vote was originally scheduled for August 5th, then pushed to the 19th, and again to August 28th after the Township solicitor fell ill. Opponents are maintaining pressure on the board by attending all township meetings. The court's recent action is seen as a positive development for opponents, who believe it validates their legal challenge.
