Supervisors plan expert panel and possible special work session on data centers
Summary
Board members proposed convening an expert panel (e.g., PennFuture) and scheduling a work session or special meeting to collect information before the advertised public hearing on the data-center ordinance.
Some supervisors urged the board to seek outside experts and to hold a public-facing presentation before or alongside the ordinance advertisement. One supervisor noted a contact at PennFuture and said the organization was willing to present to the township. "I have that contact from Penn Future. They are very willing to come here and talk to us," a supervisor said, and several members agreed an expert session could run in parallel with the ordinance advertisement.
The solicitor clarified that advertising the ordinance makes the draft a public document and that the jointure could set a hearing (possibly in August); supervisors discussed scheduling a work session or special public meeting when experts are available and agreed staff should coordinate dates and clearances before advertising.
