Lot Size: 265 acres

Franklin Partners LLC, which owns the 265-acre parcel at South 26th Street and East N Avenue, asked the township in September 2025 to add “data center” as a special-exception use in the I-2 heavy-industrial zone. After packed public meetings and vocal worries about electricity rates, millions of gallons of cooling-water demand and diesel-generator emissions, the developer withdrew its zoning request in October 2025 and asked officials to remove the item from all remaining 2025 agendas.

Franklin Partners says it will “reconsider” the project and is exploring other development options for the site, leaving the door open for a revised data-center proposal or an entirely different use in the future.
