📰 News we're reading

• Archbald to hear more info on power plant, seven data centers this week (thetimes-tribune.com) — Archbald council is holding two crucial public hearings this week on a proposed 400‑megawatt natural gas power plant near Staback Park and a massive seven‑building data center campus at Stavola Quarry. Both sessions start at 5 p.m. at Valley View High School, where residents, school officials, and attorneys can question developers and present evidence before council eventually decides whether these projects meet borough zoning rules.
   

• Lackawanna County Court Notes, September 29, 2026 (thetimes-tribune.com) — Lackawanna County's latest court notes include a property sale on Osprey Lane in Archbald, along with other real estate deals, marriage licenses, divorces, and estate filings. While most entries involve neighboring communities, Archbald residents may be especially interested in the local transaction and how it reflects current home values and legal activity around the borough.
