Data Center Debate Rolls On as Whitemarsh Sets September Hearing

The data center conversation next door is not going away. Whitemarsh Township's Board of Supervisors voted on August 13th to advertise a proposed data center ordinance, with a hearing now set for September 10th. That comes on the heels of a big Plymouth Township hearing earlier this month where Norristown applied for party status and the township floated a 43-point list of conditions for the developer.

Why does this matter to a Conshy family scrolling on a Monday morning? Because data centers are big, loud, thirsty neighbors, and the rules being written now in Plymouth and Whitemarsh will shape what gets built along the ridgelines and industrial pockets you drive past every day. MoreThanTheCurve has also flagged a gap between how the two townships handle planning and zoning transparency, with Plymouth publishing agendas differently than Whitemarsh does. Worth knowing if you plan to show up in September.

Angelo's Keeps a Piece of Old Conshy Bread History Alive

Every town has a food story it tells about itself, and Conshohocken's has always involved bread. Angelo's Pizzeria, the Fayette Street favorite that outgrew its original South Philly home, has been quietly preserving that legacy by baking bread at wholesale scale locally. MONTCO.Today walked through how Angelo's is picking up the thread of the borough's bread-baking past while its retail side keeps opening new locations around the region.

If you have ever handed a kid a hunk of warm bread from a paper bag and watched the crumbs disappear, you already know why this matters. The full story is at MONTCO.Today.

Morgan Properties Now the Country's No. 2 Apartment Owner

The Conshohocken-headquartered Morgan Properties has climbed to the No. 2 spot among apartment owners nationally, according to reporting from MONTCO.Today. For a borough that has spent the last decade watching cranes go up along the river, it is one more reminder that the big real estate decisions being made in offices right here ripple out to renters across the country.

More context at MONTCO.Today. Meanwhile, on the office side of things, Brandywine Realty Trust continues to shed local towers, having sold Six Tower Bridge for $21 million earlier this summer.

Farmers' Market Saturday, Missing Persons Search Ongoing

A few things to keep on the family radar this week. The Conshohocken Farmers' Market ran this past Saturday with a knife-sharpening station added to the usual produce and pastry rotation, so if you missed it, put it on the calendar for next weekend. Details at MoreThanTheCurve.

On the sober side, Patch reports the search continues eight years after the disappearance of a Conshohocken man whose vehicle was found at an Ohio rest stop in 2018. Full background at Patch.
