North Franklin Joining Data Center Regulation Flurry

North Franklin Township Supervisors authorized their solicitor to advertise amendments to their zoning code. They wish to establish definitions and regulations that govern the development of data centers and cryptocurrency mining centers, and fossil fueled power plants that energize those establishments. Supervisors then set a date for a public hearing to allow public testimony on the amendments. The public hearing will take place prior to the next supervisors regular meeting. The time will be 4:30 pm on April 14. Supervisor Chairman Bob Sabot says that residents will be able to weigh in on items such as property line setbacks, height and numbers of buildings associated with a data center and other regulations. The draft ordinance is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the township’s municipal offices.
