Agency says data moratorium creates uncertainty for Stream project
Genesee County economic development officials have expressed concern about Stream Data Centers' proposed $19.5 billion complex due to a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers. New York Governor Hochul has reaffirmed her executive order imposing the one-year moratorium.
Genesee County economic development officials are raising concerns that a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers is creating "uncertainty" for Stream Data Centers' planned $19.5 billion complex. The proposed project is slated for the STAMP site in Genesee County.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has reinforced her executive order to implement a one-year moratorium on hyperscale data centers. She reportedly expressed minimal concern that this policy might prompt businesses to move their facilities to other states.
Meanwhile, officials from Stream Data Centers have engaged with The Buffalo News' Editorial Board to discuss their development approach and highlight the benefits of their proposed project in Genesee County.
