Amid development, Ransom Twp. officials look toward data center ordinance

Ransom Township officials are preparing to vote on a new ordinance to regulate data center development, following a year of proposals and resident concerns. The ordinance seeks to protect the environment, natural resources, and the township's rural character by implementing strict requirements for conditional use, including decommissioning plans and water conservation. This comes amidst ongoing legal challenges from Scranton Materials, whose zoning change proposal was previously dismissed, and active community opposition to widespread data center development in Lackawanna County.

Scranton Materials appeals Ransom Twp. denial of data center zoning change

Scranton Materials, a property owner, is appealing Ransom Township's denial of a zoning change that would have allowed data centers on its 251-acre property. The township supervisors voted to dismiss the proposed changes, citing lack of testimony and evidence from Scranton Materials. Scranton Materials argues the township is required to allow for data centers somewhere within its borders and that the township acted improperly in rejecting the zoning amendment.
