Ransom Township supervisors denied a zoning request for a proposed data center by Scranton Materials LLC, which would cover 180 acres at 819 Newton Road. The decision followed a public meeting where residents raised concerns about wildlife and community impact.

The planning commission did not recommend the ordinance due to insufficient analysis of the project and surrounding neighborhoods. An attorney for an objector argued that the applicant failed to present adequate evidence, leading to the supervisors granting a motion to deny the request. The 60-day period for the hearing expires on Friday.
