The Mahoning Township Zoning Hearing Board unanimously rejected an appeal by Stonebridge Associates Inc. and its affiliate S.S. Penn, LLC, related to a proposed data center at the Powder Mill Works area. The Bethesda, Maryland-based companies had challenged the Mahoning Township's zoning office's decision to reject their June 2 and 9 permit applications for a data center, citing errors in the submissions.
This decision, which saw the board vote 2-0 to uphold the initial rejection, mirrors a similar outcome in the neighboring North Beaver Township. The ruling effectively denies the developers' attempt to advance their data center project.
