Data center ordinance discussed at New Beaver

During a recent New Beaver Borough Council meeting, Councilman David Badger, who heads the ordinance committee, presented a discussion on a potential data center ordinance. The proposed measure aims to restrict data centers to industrial zoning districts within the borough. Under the discussed ordinance, data centers would be classified as a conditional use, meaning any company seeking to establish one would be required to undergo an additional public hearing process for a zoning exception. This discussion represents an early stage in establishing regulatory frameworks for data center development in the area.
