Albany Stop in Say No to Data Centers NYS Tour

Audio from press conference.. On Thursday, August 27, 75 local activists and community leaders gathered at Albany City Hall to highlight overwhelming local resistance to unfettered data center development and call on Gov. Hochul to sign a strong data center moratorium bill, the Responsible Data Center Development Act. The event is part of the statewide ‘Stop Data Centers’ tour being led by bill sponsor State Senator Kristen Gonzalez and the environmental group Food & Water Watch. The groups called on the City of Albany to enact its own moratorium on data centers and to halt the data center proposed for Kenwood Commons in the city's South End, an environmental justice community.
