Summary
The Montgomery Township Committee read Ordinance #26-1779 a second time and adopted it on 18 June 2026, according to the Township Clerk's notice. The ordinance amends the township land development chapter to prohibit data centers and detention centers within the township's geographical boundaries and amends the code's definitions. 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 Montgomery Township (Somerset County).
- The same ordinance also prohibits detention centers, which are not data centers.
Unresolved questions
- When the ordinance took effect.
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.
