Local votes and rules

📜 Data center rules

South Hanover Township voted 5-0 to advertise a data center overlay zone ordinance. It would require special approval, a 400-foot setback from homes, and a 55-foot height limit. A Texas-based developer wants to build two data centers on a former quarry site along Wagner Avenue.
