Residents plead with officials to stop construction of data center in East Whiteland Township

Residents in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, are urging local officials to stop construction of a data center by Green Fig and Sentinel Data Centers, primarily due to concerns about water supply and the site's Superfund contamination. The developers have faced two stop-work orders, with the most recent requiring proof of adequate water. While the Board of Supervisors acknowledges residents' concerns, they indicate limited ability to halt the project permanently as it was previously approved in 2024, focusing instead on ensuring compliance with original development terms.
