The city of Ogdensburg is facing legal action from a company identified as Step by Step. The lawsuit alleges that the city has failed to take action on a site plan submitted by the company, which is presumed to be related to a data center development.

In a separate but related development concerning data centers, Assemblyman Gray is advocating for a veto of a state-wide moratorium on data center construction. The Assemblyman's rationale for this call is to allow for additional research into the implications and necessity of such a ban, suggesting the moratorium has either been proposed or passed by the legislature and is awaiting final executive approval or rejection.
