Summary
The Kingwood Township Committee finally adopted Ordinance 15-2026 on 2 July 2026 after second reading and a public hearing, according to the township clerk's public notice. The ordinance amends the township zoning chapter to define data centers and to prohibit them as a principal, conditional or accessory use in all zoning districts. The notice says it takes effect in the time and manner prescribed by law and prints no effective day, so whether it has taken effect is not verified. The notice states no end date and does not say how the ordinance treats an existing use.
What this does not establish
- Only the clerk's adoption notice was read; the full ordinance text, including its data center definition and any exceptions, was not read.
- The notice says the ordinance takes effect in the time and manner prescribed by law; no effective day is printed, so none is stored.
- It is a Kingwood Township zoning ordinance and does not apply elsewhere in New Jersey.
Unresolved questions
- When the ordinance took effect under New Jersey publication rules.
- How the full ordinance defines a data center and whether it treats an existing use differently.
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.
