Upper Allen Township Addresses Potential Monroe Township Data Center Proposal with Public Statement

The Upper Allen Township Board of Commissioners discussed a draft public statement regarding a potential data center proposal in Monroe Township. The statement aims to inform residents about the situation, outline Upper Allen's awareness of potential impacts, and reassure them that the township is prepared to take necessary actions to protect its residents if a formal proposal emerges. Monroe Township has an existing ordinance limiting data centers to industrial or highway commercial zones, and any change would require public hearings and approvals from planning commissions. The statement emphasizes that no formal application has been submitted by the developer to Monroe Township and that concerns are currently hypothetical due to the lack of a specific project scope. The board will finalize the statement and make it available to the public.
