New York Governor Hochul Weighs Veto of Data Center Moratorium Legislation
By
Paul Steidler
Summary
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is deliberating whether to veto legislation passed on June 4 that would impose a moratorium on new data centers in the state. The bill threatens to hamstring New York's participation in the AI-driven economic boom. Hochul has until the end of the year to decide and, while expressing concerns about data centers, has not fully aligned with the legislature's anti-data center stance. The piece focuses on the economic implications for upstate New York, particularly Buffalo, the governor's hometown.
