2026 data center rezone letter

The purpose of this correspondence is to express the unanimous concern of the Trenton Township Board of Trustees about your current consideration of the rezone request of allowing a data center to be constructed on the 330 acres that were recently annexed from the township.

Recently built data centers have already had a significant impact on the cost of living in our community.

Welcome to Trenton Township

Governed by the Community, For the Community

A Governance That Listens

Trenton Township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, dedicated to representing the community's best interests. These trustees are elected in November of odd-numbered years for a four-year term that commences on January 1st of the following year. The timing of their election is strategically staggered: two are elected the year after a presidential election, while one is elected in the year leading up to it. This structure ensures continuity and balance in the governance of our township.

Fiscal Responsibility

Alongside our board of trustees, an elected township fiscal officer plays a vital role in maintaining financial transparency and accountability. The fiscal officer serves a four-year term that starts on April 1st of the year following their election, which is held in November of the year before a presidential election. Should there be any vacancies in the fiscal officership or the board of trustees, they are promptly filled by the remaining trustees, ensuring the smooth functioning of our local government.

Committed to Public Services

When it comes to public services, Trenton Township does not compromise. Emergency medical services are provided by the highly trained and efficient Delaware County EMS.
