CRANE Proposes Data Center Ordinance for Mount Carmel Township
CRANE submitted a 34-page draft ordinance aimed at regulating hyperscale data centers in Mount Carmel Township. This legislation seeks to safeguard community interests against potential risks posed by large corporations.

Coal Region Advocates for a Neighborhood-First Environment (CRANE) presented a detailed 34-page draft ordinance to the Mount Carmel Township board of supervisors on June 21. The proposed regulations focus on zoning for hyperscale data centers, emphasizing the need for transparency and community safety from large corporate entities.
This initiative aims to ensure that the health and safety of local residents take precedence over corporate interests. The implications of adopting such an ordinance could lead to stricter oversight of data center operations and enhance local governance in planning for future developments.
