News
Early 2026 - A data center was proposed on the Caughbaugh Road.
Our Mission of the SPS is to preserve Stoddartsville for generations to come. Stoddartsville and
surrounding areas face a very serious challenge with plans being submitted for seven data center buildings
to be installed on 100 of the 500 acre+ quarry on the Caughbaugh Road about ½ mile from Stoddartsville.
The Tobyhanna Township Board of Supervisors approved the spot zoning of Rural Residential land to
Commercial Industrial use.
A local citizens' group has filed a legal challenge based on spot zoning.
