Supervisors in Charlestown Township are considering an ordinance that would amend the township’s zoning code to add a formal definition for “data center” and permit the use by conditional approval within the I/O/B industrial, office and business districts. The proposal defines a data center as a facility primarily used for housing and operating computer, communications or data-processing equipment and related storage systems. Officials said the measure is being considered under the authority of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The board will hold a public hearing on the proposal during its regular meeting on Monday, April 6, at 7 p.m. at the township offices, 11 General Warren Blvd., Ste 1, Malvern.
