Honey Brook Township in Pennsylvania is considering zoning amendments to permit data centers and battery energy storage systems under strict conditions, including limits on power, water use, noise, and public safety, with hyperscale centers excluded. The proposal requires conditional-use approval, public water service, electrical infrastructure costs on developers, and comprehensive environmental and community impact analyses.
