Fall brings major decisions on jail, data centers, and taxes in Yates County

Yates County is facing increasing pressure regarding data center development, particularly an AI data center at the Greenidge site in Dresden. Residents have raised concerns about environmental impacts, power, and water, leading the town of Barrington to enact a moratorium on data centers to review zoning regulations. The county is now considering how to manage future data center projects across its municipalities.
