8. Please rank the following issues in order of importance regarding a future data center in Penn Forest Township:

Question Title

9. Earlier this year, Penn Forest Township passed the strictest zoning ordinance regulating data center development.

Are you aware of this ordinance?

Question Title

10. The Penn Forest Township data center ordinance establishes strong protections for local wetlands, residents’ water quality and usage, minimize noise emissions, and the area’s natural landscape.

Do you support this ordinance?

Question Title

11. A data center would support 200-400 full-time permanent jobs and create 700-900 total jobs at local businesses. Potential tax revenue could reach $20-22 million per year for Carbon County and potentially $55-60 million per year for the Jim Thorpe Area School District.

Does this change your opinion about a future data center in Penn Forest Township?

Question Title

12. The Penn Forest Township Zoning Hearing Board will hear a validity challenge to this new zoning ordinance, which could strip away the strong data center regulations that were put in place to protect residents and the environment.

Are you aware of this hearing, and if so, do you support the challenge?

Question Title

13. With the data center regulations in place, Penn Forest is ensuring developers are accountable. However, if the ordinance challenge is upheld, that leverage is lost and a developer is free to build what they want without any of the strict regulations that protect residents and the local environment.

Does this change your mind about supporting the challenge?
