Stream Data Centers says it remains committed to its proposed $19.46 billion, three-facility data center project at the STAMP campus in the town of Alabama despite New York's temporary moratorium on large-scale data centers. The project's site plan was revised to account for wetlands, environmental setbacks and drainage, but the Planning Board made no decision and is scheduled to continue discussions in November.

Stream Data Centers remains committed to a proposed $19.46 billion data center campus at the Western New York Science & Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park in the town of Alabama, Genesee County. The project would include three facilities across the STAMP North and South campuses and about 2.2 million square feet of development.

Bradley Wells, senior site selection and development manager for Stream U.S. Data Centers, said the company is monitoring New York's temporary moratorium and believes many of the standards under discussion are already reflected in its plans. The South Campus site plan was revised after an environmental review to show wetlands and a 100-foot buffer, along with related changes to the entrance, utilities and storm drainage. The Town of Alabama Planning Board took no action on the plan and is expected to discuss site-plan conditions, sewer connections and other issues at its next meeting.
