  2. Supervisors held a public hearing on a data center zoning ordinance; the Smithfield Gateway plan was the only data center proposal before the township. (FOX56, Aug. 12, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The Pocono Record page showed no publication date; the February 2026 date is inferred from its reference to a Feb. 12 planning meeting and should be checked.
  • Outcome of the August 2026 ordinance vote not found.
  • Size not reported; it may fall under the 50 MW scope floor.
