Summary

The Medford Township Council adopted Ordinance 2026-15 on 23 June 2026 after second reading and a public hearing, according to the Municipal Clerk's notice of final adoption. The ordinance amends the township's development regulations to designate data centers as a nonpermitted use in all zones within the township. The notice prints no effective day and no end date, and it does not say how the ordinance treats an existing use.

What this does not establish

  • Only the clerk's notices were read; the full ordinance text, including any definition of data center and any exceptions, was not read.
  • No effective day is printed, so none is stored.
  • The ordinance applies only in Medford Township.

Unresolved questions

  • When the ordinance took effect.
  • How the full ordinance defines a data center.

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.
