Archbald residents fighting data centers get win in court

A Lackawanna County judge ruled that Archbald residents have legal standing to challenge the borough's data center zoning ordinance. This decision denies a motion by developers to dismiss the residents' lawsuit, marking a significant procedural win for the opposition and allowing their challenge to proceed. The ordinance, adopted in November, created several data center overlay districts that conditionally allow data centers.
