Ligonier Township planners reviewing data center zoning laws

The Ligonier Township Planning Commission is reviewing a proposed new section for the municipality's zoning ordinance, specifically tailored for data centers. Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer Rick Krouse initially distributed the proposed changes at the commission's February meeting, with further review conducted on Thursday. This proactive measure by Ligonier Township officials comes amidst a broader focus on data centers in state and federal lawmaking. The local government's objective is to maintain control over technology that could have a significant impact on the Ligonier Valley.
