Lackawanna County commissioners voted unanimously to hire EmPower Analytics Group for $165,000. Over 90 days the firm will study the pollution and health effects of more than a dozen proposed data center campuses and power plants in the county.
✋ Turned down
Jessup's Zoning Hearing Board unanimously turned down zoning relief for six data centers planned on Breaker Street. The board said the needed power substation would sit in a residential zone, which is not allowed. The developer can appeal in county court.
📜 Data center rules
Jessup Borough Council voted unanimously to tighten its data center rules. Data centers can only go on industrial land south of the Casey Highway and need a public hearing first. The rules also limit height and require noise studies and water-saving cooling.
