Bucks County (Falls Twp)

After public outcry, Falls Township supervisors declared portions of its zoning ordinance "substantively invalid" on July 27, 2026, triggering a curative amendment and a 180-day review of Chapter 209 — a step solicitor Lauren Gallagher described as a protective mechanism against developer substantive-validity challenges. Separately, 407 Pennsylvania residents (30 from Bucks County) submitted comments urging DEP to reject the air permit for 280 gas and 3 diesel generators; 76 diesel units were already installed on the 250-acre site, part of Amazon's $20 billion Pennsylvania investment. Morrisville Borough adopted its own 180-day waiting period and curative amendment process.

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION

County model data center zoning ordinance amendment

Luzerne County

Luzerne County's zoning ordinance amendment (Amendment 1 of 2026) requires a Decommissioning Plan prepared by a qualified professional at the time of application for all proposed data centers, covering safe shutdown procedures, an equipment inventory, timelines, equipment removal, disposal and recycling, and future use or site restoration. Decommissioning must begin within one year of discontinuation or notice of abandonment and be completed within 18 months thereafter unless extended in writing. Cost estimates may not include equipment salvage value, hazardous materials including batteries, fuel and refrigerants must be disposed of per state and federal law, soils must be stabilized and revegetated, and utility connections must be disconnected and capped. The County may seek injunctive relief, reimbursement for costs exceeding the deposited amount, and a lien against the owner's real estate.
