Protect Northern New York Through Responsible Environmental Review

We encourage decision-makers to consider comprehensive environmental studies and meaningful public participation before approving new large-scale data center projects in Northern New York.

We ask decision-makers to:

• Evaluate projected energy consumption and water use.

• Assess impacts on forests, wetlands, agricultural lands, wildlife, and local communities.

• Ensure transparent permitting processes and opportunities for public comment.

• Consider siting and design practices that minimize environmental impacts and avoid ecologically sensitive areas.

We support technological advancement and responsible economic development, but believe these projects should proceed only after their potential environmental and community impacts have been carefully reviewed.

Large-scale data centers can require substantial electricity, water, and land resources, making careful environmental review important for protecting Northern New York’s long-term ecological health.
