Muncy data center (Muncy Township)
Also called: Danko Holdings II, Fishlips LLC, The Liberty Group
Danko Holdings II and Fishlips LLC want to build a data center complex along Yetter Road in Muncy Township. The developer says the plan was automatically approved because the township missed a deadline. The township and neighbors are fighting that claim.
Where things stand: Developer filed for conditional use in April 2026, then claimed in July 2026 that the plan was 'deemed approved' because the township missed a hearing deadline. The township disputes this, and neighbors appealed.
🕒 Latest update (Sept 26, 2026): Reports on the 'Danko Data Center' application say the plans include water storage tanks and an on-site water treatment facility. The amount of water was not stated.

🔎 What we checked
- Oct 6, 2026: We checked the Susquehanna River Basin Commission's public list of water applications: there is no water application from this project. As of mid-2026, SRBC said Amazon's Salem Township campus was the only data center it had approved. A data center needs SRBC approval before it runs if it uses up (mostly by evaporation) more than 20,000 gallons a day on a 30-day average, or takes water from its own wells or streams above SRBC limits.

Local votes and rules
⚖️ Court case
An environmental group, local residents, and Muncy Township itself filed an appeal in Commonwealth Court against the automatic approval of the Muncy data center. They argue the approval violates residents' rights under the state constitution.
✅ Approved
The developer said its Muncy data center plan was automatically approved because the township did not hold a hearing within 60 days, as state law requires. The township disputes this and says the developer skipped a required first step.
⏸️ Pause on new data centers
Muncy Township put a pause of up to nine months on data centers because it had no zoning rules for them. The township will not process data center permits or plans until rules are adopted or the pause ends.
