Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors workshop, November 10, 2026. The board heard an economic-development strategic framework covering business outreach, redevelopment readiness, infrastructure, grant opportunities, and performance measures, along with a proposed committee structure. A supervisor liaison and possible consultant support were discussed, but no committee compensation or consultant contract was approved. The board also discussed a draft data-center zoning ordinance intended to establish locations and requirements before a project is proposed. Public and board feedback included the proposed 300-foot residential setback, building size and height, noise and generator limits, e-waste management, emergency planning, and decommissioning security. The solicitor described further board and public review before any formal ordinance process; no ordinance action was taken.

Public commenters challenged a reported $26,000 security/app platform for the dog park and a proposed annual membership fee of up to $80, while township representatives said the matter should continue through the Parks and Recreation Board. A commenter also cited $415,000 in legal bills and a $900,000 deficit; the township manager said the board had asked for more information on major legal-cost categories. A request to have the solicitor draft a resolution concerning recovery of costs for frivolous complaints or lawsuits received no motion; supervisors said they would discuss it with the manager and solicitor. No procurement award or new spending approval was identified. The minutes were approved, and an announcement described access to Ignite CDFI business resources, including potential microgrants of about $4,000 for qualifying applicants.
