A proposed data center project in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, is facing scrutiny and a stop-work order from local authorities. The development is planned for a former Superfund site, previously owned by Cyprus Foote Mineral Co.

Residents of Malvern Hunt, including Kelly Donia, have expressed ongoing concerns regarding potential environmental impacts, especially after construction vehicles were observed on the site last month. The stop-work order was issued by East Whiteland Township to allow for a safety assessment of the property.

The Inquirer's Frank Kummer and Brooke Schultz are tracking the situation, reporting on the current status and anticipated next steps for the contentious development.
