🗺️ Zoning change
Smithfield Township proposed zoning changes that would stop allowing data centers by right in its Economic Development and Industrial districts. Instead, data centers would need conditional use approval in a new Heavy Industrial (H-1) district. A developer had shown a sketch plan for two data center buildings of about 125,000 square feet each plus a substation.
