Limited options: Lawmaker explains role township ordinances will play in data center development

State Rep. Joe Hamm informed Muncy Township residents that local officials have the power to regulate data center development through zoning ordinances, despite state law requiring municipalities to allow them. The township previously enacted a six-month moratorium to amend its zoning, responding to a proposal by DANKO LLC/FishLips LLC. Residents are concerned about environmental impacts, water use from the Susquehanna River, and electricity demands, while state-level legislative efforts for a moratorium face challenges.
