Genesee County Economic Development Center Critiques NY Data Center Moratorium Proposal
The Genesee County Economic Development Center opposes New York's proposed data center moratorium, citing it as a threat to local governance. The legislation could delay the STREAM US Data Centers project at STAMP, which is ready for local approvals.

The Genesee County Economic Development Center argues that the proposed moratorium on data centers in New York undermines local governance. The STREAM US Data Centers project at the Science & Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP) is poised for local government approvals, with construction potentially commencing soon.
The legislation mandates the creation of regulations to address environmental impacts and assess electricity cost increases. Current reviews indicate that the project will not affect residential utility bills, maintain minimal water usage, and comply with local noise standards. If enacted, this moratorium could severely limit local decision-making autonomy.
