Officials deny controversial 1.9 million square foot data center proposed for Pennhurst site, likely setting up a court battle

East Vincent Township officials unanimously rejected a controversial 1.9 million-square-foot data center proposed by Pennhurst Holdings LLC at the historic Pennhurst State School and Hospital site. The decision, a win for local residents, is expected to lead to a court battle as the developer plans to appeal and asserts the township's legal obligation to provide zoning for data centers.
