Upper Hanover Township data center proposal submitted hours before new zoning ordinance adopted

A developer submitted an application for a 150,000-square-foot data center in Upper Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, just hours before the township adopted new zoning amendments regulating data centers. Because the application was deemed complete prior to the vote, it is exempt from the new, stricter regulations which include environmental impact studies, noise limits, clean energy requirements, and water usage restrictions. The developer has also filed a zoning Substantive Validity Challenge Application.
