Data centers: Ransom Twp. hearing moved to Tuesday; Shapiro offers general thoughts during separate NEPA visit
Data centers were again in focus in Northeast Pennsylvania this week as a local hearing was pushed back due to crowding while Gov. Josh Shapiro weighed in on the topic more generally during an unrelated event.
Residents from both the Abingtons and Scranton packed into the meeting room and hallway of the Ransom Twp. Municipal Building Thursday night to oppose a zoning change for a proposed data center in the township.
Less than an hour into the zoning hearing it was moved to Tuesday after objections from the crowd over the need for more space.
