More Data Center Talk In Hanover Township

The Hanover Township Board of Supervisors held their monthly meeting on Thursday. Even though the agenda was short, the meeting lasted nearly two hours due to public comments about the proposed data center in the township. A public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a data center in Starpointe Business Park was held on June 18th and was to be continued on July 8th. However, that hearing was canceled. Supervisors explain that there were inconsistencies between the maps and applications that the developer, Prime Data Centers LLC, submitted. The applications have been edited, and a new hearing will be held on August 5th at 6:00 PM. The location of this meeting is still being determined. Kerri Hageter, a resident, believes that there will be a huge turnout at the hearing, and she hopes that supervisors are understanding the concerns of those in the township. Another resident, Cody, does not believe there is any evidence on how a data center will benefit residents. Supervisors refused to comment after the meeting.
