Randolph’s Master Plan must address data centers
Randolph Township is conducting its required 10-year Master Plan reexamination. The article argues that the draft plan should specifically address potential data center development and protect local neighborhoods, wooded areas and natural resources.
Randolph Township is reviewing its Master Plan as part of the required 10-year reexamination. The article argues that the draft document fails to address data centers despite growing concerns and proposals involving such facilities elsewhere in New Jersey.
The author says the planning process should determine what types of development are appropriate for Randolph and include protections for neighborhoods, wooded landscapes and natural resources. The omission was discussed in correspondence with Mayor Mark Forstenhausler, but the article does not report a specific regulatory decision or data center proposal in the township.
