City lawmakers in Niagara Falls, New York, recently approved a settlement concerning Niagara Falls Redevelopment's proposed $1.5 billion data center. However, this local decision could be nullified as officials in Albany, specifically the New York State Assembly, are preparing to vote on a statewide moratorium on data center projects this week. The potential statewide ban, reported by multiple media outlets including the New York Times, aims to pause such developments across New York.
