Summary

The Green Township Committee finally adopted Ordinance No. 2026-04 on 18 May 2026, according to the Township Clerk's notice dated 19 May 2026. The title printed in the notice says the ordinance amends Section 30-59 of the township code to include "DATE CENTERS" as a prohibited use in all zones; this record reads that as data centers, but the notice does not show the ordinance text. The notice prints no effective day and no end date, and it does not address existing facilities.

What this does not establish

  • Only the adoption notice was reviewed; the full ordinance, including any definition of data center and any exceptions, was not reviewed.
  • No effective day is printed, so none is stored.
  • The ordinance applies only in Green Township (Sussex County).
  • The adoption notice title prints "DATE CENTERS"; reading it as data centers is this record's interpretation, and the ordinance text was not reviewed to confirm it.

Unresolved questions

  • When the ordinance took effect.
  • Whether the ordinance text itself says "data centers" where the adoption notice title prints "DATE CENTERS".

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.

  • No related action is recorded.
