The Tobyhanna Township Zoning Hearing Board will hold a Continued Public Hearing at Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in Pocono Manor, PA on April 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The hearing involves an appeal by Mark and Joan Lippi, Jennifer Beardsley, Dolores Ruppel, Jim Millington, the Stoddartsville Association, and Ray Laytham challenging the enactment of Ordinance No. 580. This ordinance establishes a data center overlay district, permitting data center use, and setting regulations. The applicants argue that the ordinance constitutes unlawful spot zoning, benefits a single landowner, and lacks relevance to public welfare. The affected properties are in the RR zoning district, including Tax Map Parcels 19.111691, 19.119925, and 19.18.1.8-1. The public hearing continuation from March 11, 2026, allows interested parties to review the plans at the Tobyhanna Township Municipal Building during business hours.
