Data Centers, IDA and “Warehouses”

Rockland County, New York, is experiencing significant opposition to data center developments and expansions, particularly involving DataBank and JP Morgan Chase, due to concerns over environmental impact, electricity and water usage, and noise pollution. Local supervisors in Orangetown and Clarkstown have proposed short-term moratoriums on new data centers and over-development, while a state-level moratorium bill passed the legislature but was not signed by Governor Hochul, who issued an Executive Order instead. Residents and advocacy groups are urging stricter regulations and oversight of data center projects and their access to taxpayer-funded IDA money.

NY subsidies for Rockland County data centers top $320M, report says

A new report by Reinvent Albany reveals New York agencies have provided over $321 million in subsidies to data centers in Rockland County since 2013, enabling ultra-low-cost power and sales tax exemptions. This report coincides with Governor Kathy Hochul's recently enacted statewide moratorium on new data center construction and her plans for new regulations. The report criticizes the high per-job cost of these subsidies and the significant electricity consumption by data centers.
