More than 50 residents voice opposition to data center project during Massena Town Board meeting

Residents in Massena, New York, including those from the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation, voiced strong opposition to a proposed 635MW data center project at a Town Board meeting. The project, involving NYDIG and North Country Collocation Services, would require a new electrical substation and initially planned for river water cooling, which town officials deemed a "non-starter." The Town Planning Board is set to review the site plan and environmental impact, with officials emphasizing a need for transparent communication and alternative cooling methods.
