• Kline Township Supervisors Vote Unanimously to Approve Amazon Data Center Project (audacy.com) — Kelayres residents just saw Kline Township supervisors unanimously approve Amazon’s massive data center campus near Route 309 and I-81, despite strong neighborhood opposition. The 350-acre project could reshape traffic, noise, and utility demands, with conditions for blasting surveys and acoustic testing, but many locals wanted tougher safeguards before the plan moves forward for zoning and state environmental permits.
