STAMP campus (Stream)
litigation Lawsuit filed 1 July 2025; revised GCEDC application March 2026; town awaiting revised plans as of 14 September 2026
Stream U.S. Data Centers (via Genesee County Economic Development Center) Town of Alabama, Genesee County (STAMP industrial park)
2.2M sq ft facility; $1.46B in requested state/local sales tax breaks ($716M state + $716M local); Hochul had previously called it a 'local decision' she wouldn't override (March 2026) before reversing via executive order. The Batavian described Stream's STAMP data center, Project Double Reed, as a $19.46 billion project with North and South campuses. The town of Alabama was awaiting revised plans as of 14 September 2026 after the state DEC took the position that STAMP development is no longer grandfathered from new wetland rules, which the Genesee County EDC contested in a 24 August 2026 letter. Separately, Plug Power and Stream amended their Gateway land sale on 9 July 2026, fixing the price at $142 million, allowing an interim land closing and extending the outside closing date to 31 March 2027 The Genesee County Economic Development Center board voted on 2 July 2026 to prepare resolutions approving the State Environmental Quality Review for the Stream data center, with a vote planned for a July special meeting ahead of a 3 August Alabama Planning Board meeting. GCEDC never called that meeting, the planning board meeting was canceled, and no approval vote appeared on the agendas for its late July meetings. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on 14 July imposing a yearlong moratorium on new hyperscale data centers and has criticized GCEDC's plan to provide Stream with $1.44 billion in subsidies The $6.3B and 250 MW figures are superseded. Stream's revised application to the Genesee County EDC in March 2026 raised the Project Double Reed investment from $11.1 billion to $19.461 billion for a 500 MW, 2.2 million square foot, three-building facility and raised the requested tax abatements from $774 million to about $1.4 billion (The Daily News, 5 and 12 March 2026). The July 2025 lawsuit coverage described the earlier plan at 250 MW and 900,000 square feet. The Batavian still cited $19.46 billion with North and South campuses on 14 September 2026

North Country Colocation Services (NCCS) Town of Massena Town Board
The Massena Town Board voted 3-2 against a six-month moratorium on data center development after a public hearing on a Wednesday night, reported 17 September 2026. Developer NCCS has eyed land near the former Alcoa East plant and said its latest plan would draw 400 megawatts from the New York Power Authority with closed-loop cooling. An NCCS representative said the project is exempt from the statewide moratorium because it does not need additional discretionary state environmental permits. Studies funded partly through a developer escrow account must be completed before construction.

TeraWulf Cayuga Data Campus (former Cayuga/Milliken power plant)
litigation ZBA decision 23 December 2025; Article 78 petition filed 29 January 2026; Town Board directed drafting of a data center prohibition 29 September 2026 (not introduced or adopted)
TeraWulf (Lake Hawkeye LLC) Town of Lansing Zoning Board of Appeals / New York State Supreme Court, Tompkins County
The Lansing code enforcement officer found the project did not comply with town zoning; the Zoning Board of Appeals ruled on 23 December 2025 that the data center is a permitted use in the industrial zone. Cayuga Lake Environmental Action Now (CLEAN) and FLX Strong filed an Article 78 petition in New York State Supreme Court on Thursday 29 January 2026 seeking to annul that decision; TeraWulf called the suit without merit. The Town Board had considered a one-year land-use moratorium in fall 2025 and withdrew it after TeraWulf threatened litigation. A petition against the project passed 20,000 signatures in June 2026, and Tompkins and Seneca counties asked the state DEC to reject a modified water withdrawal permit for the site. At a special meeting on Tuesday 29 September 2026, attended by roughly 200 people, the Lansing Town Board directed town attorney Megan Doherty to draft a local law that would prohibit data centers, with Supervisor Ruth Groff saying she favors a total ban. The board did not introduce or enact the law, has not scheduled a public hearing, and has not rejected the TeraWulf project.

Blockfusion USA, Inc. + North East Data, LLC + CoreWeave
Blockfusion's subsidiary North East Data, LLC entered a definitive 15-year anchor lease with two five-year renewal options, plus a companion expansion agreement, with CoreWeave at its Niagara Falls, New York campus. The agreements convert a non-binding letter of intent announced 30 June 2026. Blockfusion is pursuing a business combination with Blue Acquisition Corp. that would list the combined company on Nasdaq. Blue Acquisition Corp.'s Form 8-K filed 22 September 2026 discloses a Series A common stock purchase warrant dated 4 September 2026 issued by Blockfusion to CoreWeave, Inc. for 2,786,624 Blockfusion Series A shares at an initial exercise price of $7.6898 per share. Under the Sixth Amendment to the business combination agreement, signed 21 September 2026, that warrant is cancelled immediately before the merger and replaced by a warrant for 2,870,813 shares of the listed company's Class A common stock at $7.4643 per share; the amendment also raises the earnout to up to 15,000,000 shares. The filing does not state the lease value or MW. An updated Blue Acquisition Corp. and Blockfusion investor presentation, furnished on Form 8-K on 25 September 2026, states the site has 50 MW energized with an expansion path to 300 MW or more, the CoreWeave expansion framework reaches up to 300 MW with CoreWeave holding first right to each increment, and CoreWeave committed $50 million as a non-recurring charge plus $30 million through the warrant purchase. Blockfusion is valued at $450 million pre-money in the business combination.

Policy context

What governs a data center in New York

New York (Executive Order 62)state
Applies to hyperscale data centers of 50 MW and above; no fixed expiration; DEC to hold in abeyance all discretionary permits for construction or expansion until DPS files a final GEIS. Exempts projects already under construction, modifications of previously issued approvals, and renewals.
Signed July 14, 2026, EO 62 is the first statewide data center moratorium in the nation, against a NYISO queue of roughly 12 GW of data center load requests. New York data centers contributed $49 billion of GDP and $5.1 billion of taxes in 2024. The order holds DEC permits in abeyance until DPS completes a final Generic Environmental Impact Statement; the atlas source characterizes the duration both as having no fixed expiration and as pending that review. On 15 September 2026 Empire State Development issued the Host Community Investment Framework required by EO 62: a voluntary recommendation of $1 million per MW of utility demand in host-community investment, negotiated locally, plus Good Neighbor commitments on water, noise and lighting, prevailing wages and local hiring, annual reporting and limits on NDAs.
New York (legislative measures beyond EO 62)state
S10642: 12-month moratorium with labor standards, awaiting the Governor. A separate legislature-passed bill would bar projects of 20 MW or more and impose near-total renewable-energy requirements by 2050 on projects larger than 1 MW. A February 2026 bill would freeze state and local approvals for any new data center above 20 MW for three years.
The Legislature passed a more expansive 12-month moratorium than EO 62, and additional bills target 20 MW and even 1 MW thresholds. IBEW Third District VP Frank Muia warned a blanket moratorium "risks sending billions of dollars in private investment… to neighboring states".
New York local actionscity
Local New York actions include Newfield (Jul 2026), East Fishkill (Jun 2026), Perth one-year moratorium (Jun 4, 2025), Oneonta (May 2026), Lysander six-month pause (May 7, 2026), and a Dryden ban (Feb 2026). The C.4 summary records 12 to 13 tracked New York actions.

The policy layer for New York lives in three companion references: the New York Data Center Moratorium Tracker for every state measure and local moratorium on record, the Water Tracker for the water rules that touch a site, and the Grid Operator Watchlist for the large-load rules of the RTO or utility that decides whether it can energize.
