Stop the Lower Towamensing Data Center!

If you live in Lower Towamensing, Palmerton, or Bowmanstown and want to stop the proposed data center, please attend the Lower Towamensing Supervisors’ meeting this Wednesday, November 4th at 7PM on 595 Hahns Dairy Road. At the Supervisors' meeting, members of Save Carbon County will respectfully ask the Supervisors to reschedule the first public hearing on the data center zoning proposal until after Christmas. We need neighbors and local residents to crowd the meeting room to make a convincing case.

To recap, the public hearing was originally scheduled for October 27th, but DTA Alliance said they couldn’t attend. The hearing has now been rescheduled for Thursday, December 17th— only 7 days before Christmas Eve! The new date will prevent many neighbors and local residents from attending because of holiday conflicts. Please join us in asking the Township Supervisors to reschedule the meeting after Christmas.

You can also get your “No Data Center” yard signs at the Lower Towamensing Supervisors’ meeting this Wednesday. Yard signs are an important way to show that you oppose the data center. Signs will be $10 each, and the money from the sales will fund more signs and other related activities.

The “Bombers Against the Data Center” committee has been formed. Their mission is to act as the principal voice of local opposition to the Lower Towamensing and Bowmanstown data center proposal. This committee welcomes anyone willing to help. The committee adopted the “Bombers” title to include participants from all affected communities, including Bowmanstown, Palmerton, and Lower Towamensing.

A Bombers Against the Data Center Facebook page has been created to provide up-to-the-minute information about the opposition to the data center, and a website is coming soon.

Remember that our best tools to stop the data center are:

(1) Overwhelming and unrelenting community opposition, including participation at meetings.

(2) Delay. We will take every opportunity to slow this proposal down.

(3) Accurate information detailing the impact of a data center on the community.
