Plymouth Township Council Comes Out Against the 900 Conshohocken Road Data Center

The data center fight at 900 Conshohocken Road just got a lot louder. Plymouth Township Council issued a statement on June 9 formally opposing the Cleveland Cliffs-site data center application, citing what they describe as threats to health and safety. That is a meaningful shift ahead of the public hearing later this month, and it lands right when West Conshohocken's council voted six to zero to adopt its own zoning ordinance addressing data centers.

For families nearby, the questions are the practical ones. Noise, traffic, water use, power demand, and what a facility of this size means for the neighborhoods that border the site. The council's statement is notable for what it does not address as much as what it does. Reporters at MoreThanTheCurve flagged a list of questions the township chose not to answer, which is worth a read if you plan to show up at the hearing.

Baan Atelier Gets the PHL17 Spotlight Treatment

Conshy's newest Thai and French fusion BYOB, Baan Atelier, got featured on Positively Philly on PHL17 this week. If you have walked past on Fayette and wondered what the deal was, here is your sign. The piece highlights the kitchen's approach to blending two cuisines that, on paper, sound like they should not work together, and somehow do.

It is also one more entry in a stretch of Fayette Street openings that have pushed Conshohocken into the regional dining conversation. MONTCO.Today recently called the borough the region's most explosive dining destination, which is the kind of compliment that makes parking on a Saturday night a little harder but is probably good for the rest of us.

Cencora Lands at Number 10 on the Fortune 500

The Conshohocken-headquartered healthcare distribution giant Cencora cracked the top ten of the Fortune 500 this year, ranked tenth by revenue. That is a number that puts our little borough on a list with names you usually associate with Wall Street skylines rather than the banks of the Schuylkill.

It is also a reminder that the office park economy here is doing a lot of quiet, large-scale work. Whether you feel that as good news, complicated news, or just trivia for your next dinner party probably depends on how often you sit in traffic at the Fayette Street ramp.

Theater in the Parks Brings The Lion King Jr to Mary Wood

The newly launched Conshohocken Theater in the Parks debuts Saturday with two free outdoor performances of Disney's The Lion King Jr at Mary Wood Park. Shows are at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, the cast is made up of local young performers, and you should pack a blanket or a lawn chair and probably some water given the heat that has been settling in.

If your kids only know Hakuna Matata from a TikTok, this is your chance to deliver some context. And the price is right.

La Bella Moda Closes After 45 Years on Fayette Street

After 45 years, La Bella Moda has closed its doors. The Conshohocken bridal boutique was a Fayette Street fixture for decades, and its closing is the kind of small-business story that does not generate a press conference but does change the texture of a downtown.

Coverage from MONTCO.Today frames it through the lens of Amazon and SHEIN pressure on independent retailers, which is probably part of it. Reading between the lines, it is also just what happens when 45 years go by. Either way, worth noting before the storefront becomes whatever comes next.
