Several residents gathered in Washington Township to protest the ongoing issue of data center development. This demonstration occurred four days after the Board of Trustees instructed the township planning commission to review and potentially revise zoning regulations related to data centers.
The planning commission is now tasked with examining the current ordinance provisions and considering changes that could impact future data center projects within the township.
**Why this matters**
Data centers can significantly affect local communities through increased traffic, energy consumption, and environmental impact. The township’s review of zoning regulations aims to address these concerns and ensure that any new developments align with community interests and planning goals.
