Two data center proposals filed before the ordinance took effect, including a planned Industrial Drive project by Boyle Construction, Paxos and Tensor IQ, will be reviewed under the old rules.

Bethlehem data center rules pass first vote 7-0 as residents call them only a start

Bethlehem City Council voted 7-0 to give initial approval to data center zoning rules that would require public hearings, environmental and infrastructure studies, and buffers from homes and schools. The rules face a final vote on Oct. 20 and would not apply to the data center already proposed on Industrial Drive by Boyle Construction, Paxos and Tensor IQ, prompting residents to call for stronger protections.

Bethlehem data center would fail proposed zoning rules, but project is exempt

Bethlehem City Council is considering zoning rules that would ban data centers in the city’s Planned Industrial and Light Industrial districts and impose larger setbacks, noise limits, and environmental and utility studies. A proposed data center by Boyle Construction, Paxos and Tensor IQ would not comply with the new rules, but it is exempt because its plans were filed before the ordinance was introduced.
