College Township council updates zoning to address potential data centers

The College Township Council in Pennsylvania unanimously approved updates to its zoning ordinance to prepare for potential future AI data centers. This makes College Township the first municipality in the Centre Region to do so. The updates include defining 'data centers' as a conditional use in the township's rural residential zoning district. This is in response to a state Senate bill that would limit local municipalities' ability to review and add conditions to data center development plans.
