Scranton council tables zoning amendments for data centers until public hearing
Summary
Two ordinances proposing amendments to the city's zoning code related to data centers were tabled to allow for public hearings at a later date; no final action was taken.
The council reviewed two proposed ordinances that would amend zoning provisions related to data centers (Council numbers 7 and 8, 2026). Both ordinances were tabled until public hearings can be scheduled, allowing further community input before any final vote.
Why it matters: Data center zoning changes can affect land use, utilities and neighborhood impacts. Council’s decision to table the ordinances defers substantive land-use changes to a later public process.
Next steps: The ordinances will remain tabled pending notice of public hearings; council members or staff did not set a specific hearing date during the meeting.
