Residents in Genesee County, New York, oppose a proposed $19.5 billion data center backed by Stream Data Centers and Apollo Global Management, citing concerns over noise, pollution, and rising electricity costs. The Genesee County Economic Development Center is reviewing a financial assistance application for the project, which includes a request for $1.44 billion in public subsidies.

The Tonawanda Seneca Nation has also opposed the project due to potential environmental harm. Community opposition is growing, with local leaders emphasizing the need for unity against the powerful interests behind the data center.
