Data Center Zoning Ordinance
Concord Township just adopted tough data-center zoning—setbacks, noise limits, and sewage rules—even though no projects are on the table. East Goshen isn’t acting yet, but it’s a signal that similar development pressure could land here, so watch whether local officials prep their own rules.
Marydell Farm Stormwater Concerns
A resident expressed concerns regarding stormwater runoff, sediment, and environmental conditions surrounding Marydell Farm and requested further board review.
Park Infrastructure and Water Access
Township staff started the process with Aqua water to bring public water access to the township park, addressing well water limitations for proposed park bathrooms.
2026-27 Deer Management Program
The board approved Resolution 2026-13, continuing the township's archery deer management program on designated open spaces to control the overpopulation of deer.
ESAC Pilot Composting Program Proposal
