Susquehanna County commissioners have approved an amendment to the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) to define data centers and establish development provisions, despite no current proposals for such facilities. The new regulations mandate a 200-foot setback from residential areas, require sound and water feasibility studies, and limit data center heights to 60 feet. Local residents raised concerns about noise and pollution, prompting suggestions for further amendments, which will be reviewed by the planning commission.
