Muncy Twp data center deemed-approval challenge (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2026)

Filed 'this past Friday' per Williamsport Sun-Gazette (Sun-Gazette page dated Sept. 29, 2026; PennLive's headline on the same filing is time-stamped Mon. Sept. 28, 2026 in Google News; 'this past Friday' = Fri. Sept. 25, 2026) in Commonwealth Court. Petitioners as listed by the Sun-Gazette: John Schaeffer, Sean Tetreault and Daniel Waugh (each as a GAG member and individually), Rae-Ellah Tetreault, Muncy Township and the Muncy Township Board of Supervisors. Underlying facts: Danko Holdings II LP and Fishlips LLC applied April 28, 2026 for conditional use for three data center buildings, water storage/treatment, a substation, etc. near Yetter Road and John Brady Drive; the township held no hearing within 60 days; deemed-approval notice published in July (NorthcentralPA: advertised July 16 and 23). Claims: MPC deemed approval for data centers violates constitutional environmental-rights and due process protections. Related: a separate land use appeal by the Tetreaults in Lycoming County court, with the developers' motion to quash set for argument Nov. 6, 2026 (NorthcentralPA); the township imposed a nine-month moratorium on data center submissions on June 8, 2026 (NorthcentralPA) — not in the dataset. NOT ESTABLISHED: docket number; respondents; relief requested. Note: the Sun-Gazette lists Muncy Township and its Board of Supervisors among the 'petitioners'; their actual party role is unconfirmed.
