Throop Borough Council is set to consider a proposed zoning ordinance restricting data centers as conditional uses on 351 acres. This follows a six-month pause on data centers, with Throop being the only Midvalley community without a pending proposal.
Archbald is evaluating a 400-megawatt power plant proposal and a 600-megawatt plan in Dickson City. Both municipalities will hold hearings this week, with the potential for significant local development. The proposed ordinance includes strict performance standards regarding noise, vibration, and environmental impact, indicating a focused effort to regulate the industry effectively.
