This has led to protests and political actions, including a moratorium in New York and local opposition to projects like CoreWeave's in Pennsylvania and Oracle/OpenAI's in Michigan.

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.
