📰 News we're reading

• Officer Involved In Montco Shooting, 1 Dead: DA (patch.com) — Residents near Pottstown are learning more about a deadly police encounter in Upper Pottsgrove Township, where an officer fatally shot a man during an early-morning break-in call on Snyder Road. Montgomery County detectives are now investigating the circumstances of the shooting, and officials say more details will be released as the probe continues.
   

• Small-scale data center proposed for Pa. mall (pennlive.com) — North Coventry officials are weighing a proposal to turn vacant Coventry Mall space into a nearly 86,000-square-foot data center, a smaller project than massive facilities planned elsewhere in the region. The decision, and evolving state "guardrails" on data centers, could shape future development just outside Pottstown and influence how similar projects are handled locally.
