Four residents sued the borough under the Sunshine Act, saying the Sept. 14 vote to rezone the parcel and create a data center overlay was held in a room with about a dozen seats while more than 200 people were shut out
Notes: At Route 10 and Furnace Road across from Historic Joanna Furnace. The borough, population 54, says the overlay is proactive and no developer has applied; data centers are conditional uses there. The suit asks the court to void the vote.
