Resident of Pequea urges local authorities to deliberate over an ordinance that would manage data centers
In a recent meeting held on September 17, the Pequea Township Board of Supervisors discussed various matters of importance. The Board unanimously approved the dates for budget workshops and the final approval of the 2026 budget, with the adoption taking place at 7 p.m. on Dec. 3.
The workshops will be held at the township building at 5 p.m. on Oct. 22, 6 p.m. on Oct. 30, and 6 p.m. on Nov. 12. These sessions aim to provide residents with an opportunity to discuss the upcoming budget and offer their insights.
One of the expenditures approved during the meeting was a donation of $11,500 to Lancaster EMS. The second expenditure was a trench restoration project on Carriage House Road, costing $11,000, carried out by Long's Asphalt. The Board also approved the application for two state Department of Community and Economic Development grants. One grant is for a crack sealer, amounting to $91,127, and the other is for a skid loader, totalling $80,730.
A topic of interest was the potential drafting of a data center ordinance. Jackie Johns, a resident, expressed her interest in this matter, stating that rural municipalities throughout the county are currently drafting such ordinances. However, the township has not yet received advice related to data centers from its solicitor and is not currently drafting an ordinance. Harry Lehman, another resident, has expressed his intention to contact the City of Mesa to seek advice on drafting a data center ordinance before the 2026 budget process begins.
