Summary

The Neptune Township Committee passed and adopted Ordinance 26-26 on second and final reading on 13 July 2026, after public hearings, according to the Township Clerk's public notice. The ordinance amends the Land Development Ordinance to prohibit data centers and Department of Homeland Security detention centers. The notice says it becomes effective upon publication but does not print the publication day, and it states no end date.

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 Neptune Township.
  • The notice says the ordinance becomes effective upon publication; the publication day is not printed.
  • The same ordinance also addresses 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.
