Cecil Twp. Hosts Data Center Workshop

The Cecil Township Board of Supervisors hosted a public Data Center Workshop Monday evening. The purpose of this workshop was to give residents a chance to offer feedback on future ordinances, ask questions, and express concerns. The Board would like to get ahead of the curve and have conditions in place before a company would propose developing a data center in the township. Supervisor Tom Casciola says that the first step, and ultimately the hardest part, is deciding where the best location for a data center would be. Supervisor Cindy Fisher says that the Board will be spending a lot of time writing an ordinance that would allow data centers in a safe area. Fisher also says that even if the township would benefit from allowing a data center, the safety and well-being of residents is her first priority. Lee Sahene, a resident of Cecil, spoke during the workshop and said he was grateful that the Board was allowing residents to voice their opinions. The Board says that there will be a public hearing once an ordinance is written.
