Thank y'all SO MUCH for your support and signing of this petition. I am blown away and so grateful that this issue is so important to so many of you too.
VIRTUAL ALLENTOWN ENVIRONMENTAL ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT, JUNE 1st at 5:30pm. Here is the link to the meeting https://meet.google.com/rgz-dnew-bwk
*This is an informational update from the EAC on the the Allentown Data Center. Joining the meeting will be representatives from Bureau of Planning and Zoning. I strongly encourage all to attend, and stay informed.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT UPCOMING MEETINGS! WE NEED YOU TO SHOW UP!
WEDNESDAY JUNE 3rd at 6pm @ CITY HALL-COUNCIL CHAMBERS - 435 HAMILTON ST
*COUNCIL WILL HEAR FROM US, South Allentown residents and business owners AND VOTE ON BILL 20;- Proposed Allentown zoning ordinance that creates a formal "Data Center" land-use category and establishes where data centers may be located and the standards they must
meet before being approved.
*If you are an Allentown resident and care about where data centers can go up and the rules they need to abide by, THIS IS FOR YOU!
* WE NEED YOU TO BE HERE! THIS IS A MEETING FOR US, THE PUBLIC. Bring your neighbors, bring your friends! We need to show the council our physical opposition to this data center and fight for stricter ordinances around new potential data centers to protect this from happening elsewhere.
TUESDAY JUNE 9th at 12:15PM @ CITY HALL - COUNCIL CHAMBERS- 435 HAMILTON ST
*This is when City Council will review the project between the developers and planning commission. WE NEED YOU TO BE HERE! I'm serious when I say that the likelihood of this project not happening here DEPENDS ON US SHOWING UP!
*The applicant of this data center, Zach Jordan of Langan, who is NOT an Allentown resident, MUST BE AT THIS MEETING. This is our first chance to make it clear that this data center is NOT WELCOME IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I know this is a lot of information, and it can sound overwhelming. I am not an activist, I have never created a petition before or organized against anything before in my life, and I am here and I am showing up for you and my neighborhood. I need y'all to do the same for me! Do it for us! Do it for your family, your neighbors family, your kids. We can do this, and I am so grateful for the support already shown. NO DATA CENTERS!
