The Data Center Crisis Coalition of NY/NJ has announced an informational Zoom meeting for August 13th to discuss proposed data center moratoriums at both the town and state levels. The meeting aims to inform residents about the potential implications of these moratoriums, specifically in relation to the DataBank Phase 2 expansion project. This expansion is planned near the Lake Tappan reservoir and has raised concerns regarding its impact on the O&R electrical grid.
This public outreach by the Coalition is strategically scheduled in advance of a significant Orangetown Town Board meeting on August 25th. That board meeting will feature a public hearing on the proposed local moratorium. The Coalition's objective is to equip residents with knowledge and understanding of data center issues before they participate in or observe the upcoming public hearing.
