In response to growing public opposition against a proposed 1.6 million-square-foot data center, East Whiteland officials voted to begin a curative amendment process to revise the township's zoning ordinance. This process will temporarily halt new data center applications for up to 180 days, allowing the township to draft updated regulations.
The proposed center, which developers seek to expand by 60%, remains unaffected by this ordinance revision. Local residents have expressed concerns about environmental impacts, noise levels, and the overall quality of life. The township aims to ensure zoning regulations are clear, fair, and compliant with the Pennsylvania Municipal Planning Code.
