Lead Story

Data center fight heats up as Plymouth pushes back

· · 1 min read

The saga over the proposed data center at 900 Conshohocken Road just got another chapter. On July 21, developer Brian O'Neill, operating through the entity 900 Conshohocken Road, LLC, filed a substantive validity challenge with Plymouth Township, according to reporting from MoreThanTheCurve. That is the legal equivalent of arguing the township's zoning rules themselves are the problem, not the application.

Plymouth Township Council was not shy in its response. Per Patch, council members characterized the developer's posture as "demanding approval by tantrum" and said the application "blatantly disregards the health, welfare, and safety of the community." Strong words for a zoning fight, and a reminder that what happens on the other side of the Conshohocken Road line matters plenty over here too.

Meanwhile, MoreThanTheCurve reports it filed a right-to-know request after asking all five Plymouth Township council members whether Governor Shapiro or his office had contacted them about data centers. Sometimes the follow-up questions are the story.

It is the sort of low-key, walkable local programming that keeps a community center feeling like an actual community center. Spots tend to fill up, so grown-ups looking for a class before the school-year chaos returns should not wait too long to sign up.

ZeroEyes has roots in a group of former Navy SEALs and uses AI to spot firearms on camera feeds before an incident escalates. It is one of those Conshy companies that sits quietly off Fayette Street doing work that has a very not-quiet mission. Worth watching as the hiring plans roll out.

Safety

Bitcoin scam warning and a bank fraud alert for Conshy

·

Two items on the local safety ledger this morning. First, Patch reports that scammers posing as law enforcement have been targeting Montgomery County residents in a Bitcoin scheme, with local victims losing anywhere from about $1,300 to more than $23,000. The playbook is familiar. Real officers do not demand cryptocurrency over the phone. Ever.

Second, the Eastern Berks Police Department is asking for help identifying a suspect accused of making two fraudulent withdrawals at a Conshohocken bank, according to MoreThanTheCurve. If you were nearby and saw something, that is the department to contact.
