Ridgway Township passes data center amendment
Ridgway Township Supervisors passed a curative amendment, Resolution No. 5-2026, to prevent data center applications from being accepted for 180 days. This temporary measure allows the Township time to research and draft a permanent ordinance to govern data center construction.
The Ridgway Township Supervisors held their monthly meeting on Tuesday, where they enacted Resolution No. 5-2026. This measure is a curative amendment specifically concerning data center applications within the township.
The amendment's immediate effect is to implement a 180-day moratorium on the acceptance of new data center applications. This temporary halt is intended to provide the Township with sufficient time to research and draft a comprehensive ordinance. The goal is to have this new ordinance ready and approved to govern future data center construction once the 180-day period concludes. Further details are expected to be published in the April 30 edition of The Ridgway Record.
