Local votes and rules
📜 Data center rules
Towamencin supervisors held a public hearing on rules for data centers and considered Ordinance 26-04. Later township records describe data centers as limited to the amended Light Industrial zone, with a minimum size so large that no single property qualifies without combining lots.
📌 Other · Montgomery County
The Montgomery County Planning Commission helped write the joint Data Center Ordinance Guide with Chester County. It gives towns sample rules, such as a 1,000-foot buffer from homes, a 60-foot height limit and night noise limits.
