A step in the right direction from the Mayor. Please continue to voice your opinions and attend the August 24th meeting!

Please see the below statement from Mayor Joseph Hankins:

Mayor Hankins Says No Data Centers in Manchester Township
Manchester Township Mayor Joseph Hankins opposes having a data center constructed in Manchester Township.

I oppose the location and construction of any data center in Manchester Township. While there is currently no application before any Township board to construct a data center in Manchester Township, I want to make it abundantly clear that I totally oppose any data center in our town. I have requested our Township Attorney to draft an ordinance for our next Township Council meeting, to eliminate any provision in our Township Code or policies that could allow the approval of a data center in Manchester Township for the Councils consideration.

I want to make it abundantly clear that I will take all steps together with our Township Council members to remove the posibility of a data center being built in Manchester Township. I have asked our Township Attorney to present an ordinance to the Township Council members eliminating any provision in our Township Code or policies that would allow a data center in our Town.

No one loves this town more than I do. It is the town I grew up in, the town where I was fortunate enough to build my career as a police officer, the town where I raised my family, and the town where my son and grandchildren live today. My commitment as your Mayor is unwavering: to listen to our residents, to take every concern seriously, and to act decisively in the best interest of our community.

An overflow crowd of residents had a singular message for the Manchester Township Council on Monday night, that data centers are not wanted. | Link in comments ⬇️

It’s standing room only at the Manchester Council meeting as folks protest data centers. There is land in town where they are allowed but no plans have been made. Photo by Chris Lundy.
