Pennsylvania Office of Open Records granted part of a records appeal and dismissed another part as moot concerning Kline Township Amazon and NorthPoint communications and data center water correspondence. The determination says the Township did not meet its disclosure burden and directs records production or a detailed nonexistence attestation. Actual later compliance or appeal was not verified. This records decision is not a project permit denial, a finding of intentional concealment or an environmental harm finding.
