The Hackettstown Town Council is scheduled to consider final adoption of Ordinance #2026-11 at its meeting on Oct. 8, 2026, according to the published agenda. The ordinance would amend and supplement the Code of the Town of Hackettstown to designate data centers as a non-permitted use in all zoning districts within the town.
The vote matters to residents because the ordinance, as listed on the agenda, would apply townwide, affecting what types of commercial development are allowed in every zone in Hackettstown. The same agenda also lists the introduction of Ordinance #2026-12, which would appropriate an additional $5,513.00 for a purchase, though the agenda excerpt does not specify further details of that item.
