No End In Sight To Hanover Data Center Hearings

November 11, 2026 4:37 am

Over several months, there have been eleven conditional use hearings for a proposed data center at Starpointe Business Park in Hanover Township. Prime Data Centers, LLC, is proposing the development, which would consist of seven buildings and a power generation facility. Even after 33 hours’ worth of hearings, there is no end in sight. Kate Nolan Bryden, the senior vice president of development, thought the process would conclude in June, but she is grateful that the supervisors have been patient while listening to Prime’s witnesses. Solicitor Dennis Makel does not expect the hearings to conclude until sometime in January. Makel says the township has allowed a lot of cross-examination by the objectors, and there has been a lot of leeway. Resident Kerri Hageter appreciates that there is no time limit. Hageter believes that everyone deserves to be heard. The hearing will continue tonight, November 18, and December 9 at 6:00 PM at the Hanover Township Fire Department Hall.
