PAX-1 Data Center Faces Legal and Approval Hurdles | Harrisburg News

The Middlesex Township Planning Commission just stalled on PAX-1’s next big moves—Phase 1-C and Phase 2—with no recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, leaving the final call in the hands of elected officials. Phase 2 could bring six new data center buildings, its own road, security, and on-site water systems, just weeks after Phase 1-B got the go-ahead. With the whole project targeting 700 acres and up to 16 buildings, locals are sounding the alarm over noise, water use, wastewater, and environmental damage. One resident, Michelle Skurzynski, says the community’s voice has been ignored—and construction noise from dawn to dusk has already altered neighborhood life. The supervisors face tight deadlines: October 7 for Phase 1-C, November 20 for Phase 2. Meanwhile, a legal battle is heating up: a county judge ordered a pause on construction pending court review, with a hearing set for September 18 at 9:30 AM. Residents are holding their breath—hoping the courts will finally step in. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
