Township planners voted unanimously to send draft data center zoning rules to the supervisors after 150 minutes of mostly critical comment; an attorney for nearby homeowners said the area where the rules would allow data centers appears tailored to NorthPoint's land

Notes: Found in the Pennsylvania DEP data center permit tracker, which lists permit applications under review (lead via Compute Atlas). Supervisors denied land development approval on Nov. 14, 2025 because data centers were not a listed use and needed a zoning board special exception; NorthPoint's appeal is pending in Commonwealth Court. PPL told the PUC the customer wants to use 965 MW within seven years, and administrative law judges paused review of the line in September until the court case and a related PUC case are resolved. NorthPoint has offered a $165 million community benefit package.
