Packed house as South Strabane Township considers data center ordinance

South Strabane Township is considering a new ordinance to regulate data centers, following a public hearing where residents voiced strong concerns about energy, noise, pollution, and property values. The proposed regulations, which would apply to a 1,400-acre tract owned by CNX Resources, will be adjusted based on public comments before a vote by the board of supervisors. Proponents argue for economic benefits while township officials acknowledge the legal limitations on an outright ban.
