• Clinton Twp. planning board deems data center application incomplete (poconorecord.com) — A massive data center complex is proposed just east of Forest City on Linde Corporation’s 743-acre wooded tract near Browndale, but Clinton Township’s planning commission has ruled the initial application incomplete.
