Data Centers Get Green Light With New Rules | Harrisburg News
Description
Lancaster City Council just locked in two existing data center projects while dramatically tightening rules for future ones—shrinking potential sites from 200 to just 16, requiring special exceptions, public hearings, and detailed environmental reporting. The move stems from a prior zoning deal with Chirisa Technology Parks, which includes noise controls and water-efficient cooling, but community concerns about surprise development and potential impacts remain. Some council members want even stricter measures, including vibration and infrasound studies, as the state can’t outright ban data centers without new legislation.
