Attorney Louis M. Perrotta, representing North Beaver and Mahoning townships in Pennsylvania, is preparing to file a motion in court on Tuesday to dismiss lawsuits brought by S.S. Penn LLC. The company's legal action disputes the timing of revised zoning ordinance amendments that both townships recently adopted.

These amendments were enacted to establish regulations concerning the location and conditions for data center developments within their respective boundaries, particularly affecting a proposed data center project at the Powder Mill Works property in North Beaver Township.
