Hazle Township Seeks Remand of Data Center Case to Zoning Board

Hazle Township attorneys have asked the Commonwealth Court to quash an appeal regarding the "Project Hazelnut" data center, arguing the case should first proceed with the township's zoning board after a Luzerne County judge remanded it. The developer, NP Hazleton Holdings 1 LLC, disputes this, claiming the judge's decision was a final order and that the initial denial of their land development plan by the township supervisors was improper and influenced by political pressure.

Data center opponent decries Hazelnut sewer deal

John Zola, a former board member of the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority, is actively opposing an agreement to sell treated sewage to cool Project Hazelnut, a proposed data center in Hazle and Sugarloaf Townships, Pennsylvania. He argues the deal is unfair to ratepayers and raises environmental concerns about water depletion and potential land subsidence. The sewer authority contends the arrangement benefits ratepayers and promotes the use of reclaimed water.
