PAX-1 data center meeting set for tonight
The Middlesex Township Board of Supervisors is set to consider Phase 1B of the PAX-1 data center project at a rescheduled meeting. This meeting follows Governor Josh Shapiro's executive order, which removed PAX-1 from Pennsylvania's fast-track permitting program. Residents are expected to attend to voice their concerns about the development.
A rescheduled meeting for the PAX-1 data center project is set to take place tonight at Middlesex Elementary School in Middlesex Township, Pennsylvania. The meeting, originally postponed due to a large turnout of over 150 people, will see the Board of Supervisors consider finalizing Phase 1B of the massive hyperscale data center development, which is planned for approximately 700 acres.
The project has garnered significant attention over recent months. Adding a new statewide dimension, Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order yesterday afternoon that removes PAX-1 from Pennsylvania's fast-track permitting program. This executive action introduces uncertainty regarding the project's future development and permitting process.
Residents are anticipated to attend the 6 p.m. meeting to express their views on the data center's construction in their community.
