The township planning commission took the plan under advisement instead of recommending approval or denial, citing hundreds of pages of unresolved review comments; the township's decision deadline moved to Dec. 31, and DEP has a public meeting and hearing on the project's stream encroachment permit Nov. 23

Notes: Lead via Compute Atlas; the DEP permit tracker lists permits under review. The parcels on N. Cedar Crest Boulevard sit across the street from Parkland High School. Edged scaled the plan back from six buildings (more than 5.1 million sq ft) to three of about 492,000 sq ft each and says it will use closed-loop cooling and pay about $16.5 million a year in taxes. A Change.org petition against it passed 9,000 signatures, and State Sen. Jarrett Coleman opposes it.
