Plymouth Council Says Data Center Developer Walked Back the Deal

On July 27th, Plymouth Township's council held a livestreamed public statement to explain, in unusually blunt language, why negotiations with the developer proposing a data center at the former steel plant site in Conshohocken have gone sideways. The council's line, roughly translated: they had an agreement, and then they didn't.

According to reporting from MoreThanTheCurve, the township claims developer Brian and his team backed out of previously agreed-upon conditions. Patch went one step further with the framing, quoting council as saying the application as it stands "blatantly disregards the health, welfare, and safety of the community" and characterizing the situation as "demanding approval by tantrum."

That is a lot of temperature for a zoning matter. Which is the point. For families living within earshot of the old steel site, the questions are the practical ones. What is the noise profile of a data center at 2 a.m.? What happens to traffic on the local grid when construction starts? What conditions were on the table in the first place, and which ones evaporated? The township has not published a full side-by-side yet, but council has now put itself very publicly on record.

We will keep tracking this one. It is the rare local story where the phrase "livestream press conference" is not overkill.

New Public Safety Facility Renderings Released

The Borough of Conshohocken has shared renderings of the new public safety facility it is preparing to build, which will house Conshohocken Fire Company No. 2 and other borough safety functions under one roof. If you have been wondering what the building will actually look like when the dust settles, the images are worth a click.

Full renderings and details are posted at MoreThanTheCurve. For a project that will sit in the middle of a walkable borough for decades, community input during design is not a formality, it is the whole point.

Sprinkler Night and a Kids Concert Close Out July at Mary Wood Park

Thursday evening at Mary Wood Park is going to be loud in the best way. The Conshohocken Summer Concert Series wraps its children's slot with a 5:30 p.m. show by The Plants, and then at 6:30 p.m. the Conshohocken Fire Department rolls out for Sprinkler Night. Bring a towel. Actually, bring two.

Then on July 31st, Conshohocken Theater in the Parks stages The Prince of Egypt at the same Mary H. Wood Park, 130 East 5th Avenue, running July 31st through August 1st as the second weekend of performances. It is outdoor theater with a full score, and the kind of thing where nobody minds if a five-year-old asks loud questions about the plot.

Details on borough programming are at the Borough of Conshohocken site, and the concert page is here.

ZeroEyes Plans to Add Over 100 Veteran Jobs in Conshohocken

ZeroEyes, the Conshohocken-based company that uses AI to detect visible weapons on security camera feeds, is planning to add more than 100 jobs with a hiring push aimed at veterans, as reported by MONTCO.Today. The company was co-founded by former Navy SEALs and, per 6abc, traces the idea back to footage from the 2018 Parkland school shooting.

Whatever your read on AI in security, the local angle is straightforward. A homegrown Conshohocken company is growing, and it is trying to hire people who have already served. That is a fairly rare combination for a headline this year.
