⚖️ Court case
E. Kahn Development sued Montgomery Township to overturn its data center ban. It says the ban was based on 'public hysteria' rather than sound planning and seeks more than $300 million. The company owns the 257-acre former Johnson & Johnson campus in Skillman.
🚫 Ban
Montgomery Township unanimously adopted Ordinance 26-1779, which bans large data centers and immigrant detention centers in every zoning district. A developer had bought the 257-acre former Johnson & Johnson (Kenvue) campus on Grandview Road in Skillman for an AI data center.
