Limerick Land Swap Proposal Sparks Opposition Over Industrial Development Concerns
A proposed land swap in Limerick Township, intended to promote industrial development along the Schuylkill River, has drawn significant opposition from local residents concerned about potential data center establishment. The plan involves Limerick Town Center LLC acquiring a 55-acre property in exchange for 559 acres across three counties, including Delaware County's first state game lands. Local officials oppose the proposal, but their influence is limited as the Commonwealth owns the land, with the Pennsylvania Game Commission set to vote on the matter soon.

A proposed land exchange in Limerick Township aims to facilitate industrial development along the Schuylkill River, but has faced significant opposition from local residents. The proposal involves a trade where Limerick Town Center LLC would acquire a 55-acre property in Limerick, adjacent to its existing industrial tract, in exchange for 559 acres across three counties, including Delaware County's first state game lands.
Residents fear the deal could lead to the establishment of a data center, despite no such proposal being officially presented. Local officials have expressed their opposition, but have limited power as the Commonwealth owns the land. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is set to vote on the proposal soon.
