Plymouth Township cancels zoning hearing involving data center after not posting agenda as required by Sunshine Act
Plymouth Township has canceled a zoning hearing for a proposed data center in Conshohocken. The cancellation occurred because the township failed to properly post the meeting agenda 24 hours in advance, violating the state's Sunshine Act. This is the second such cancellation for the township in two years.
Plymouth Township announced the cancellation of a zoning hearing for a proposed data center project slated for September 17th. The hearing, which concerned a development at 900 Conshohocken Road in Conshohocken, was called off after the news outlet MoreThanTheCurve.com reported that the township had failed to post the meeting agenda as required by Pennsylvania's Sunshine Act.
The Sunshine Act, amended in 2021, mandates that municipalities with a website must post agendas for public meetings, including zoning hearings, at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start. This marks the second instance in two years where a procedural error in Plymouth Township, highlighted by MoreThanTheCurve.com, has led to the cancellation of a scheduled zoning hearing.
