The North Huntingdon Township Board of Commissioners is scheduled to consider a proposed data center zoning ordinance at its meeting on Nov. 18, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item concerns regulations for siting data centers within the township. According to the published agenda, Director Bonidie stated that the ordinance would allow data centers only as a conditional use, limited to the industrial, PEDD-1 and PEDD-2 zoning districts.
The agenda also references a discussion of a 200-foot height limit. According to the published agenda, Commissioner Haigis recommended continuing to negotiate the provision and bringing it back to the Board before further action.
This matters to residents because the ordinance would determine where data centers can be built in the township and what zoning districts permit them, as well as potential building height restrictions that could affect nearby properties.
