A developer is asking the Plymouth Township Zoning Hearing Board for a special exception to turn the closed Cleveland-Cliffs steel mill on Conshohocken Road into a 2 million-square-foot AI data center. An earlier request was withdrawn in November 2025 over a legal standing problem. Hearings on the new request began in summer 2026 with no decision yet.
