Data centers join Archbald to defend zoning against residents’ appeal

Three data center developers have joined the borough of Archbald, Pennsylvania to defend the town's data center zoning ordinance against an appeal filed by a group of local residents. The residents are seeking to invalidate the ordinance, which was adopted in November 2022 and allows data centers as conditional uses in several overlay districts. The developers who have intervened - Wildcat Ridge Data Center Campus, Archbald I LLC, and Project Green - all received favorable zoning designations under the new ordinance.
