The proposed conversion of the Cayuga Power Plant to a data centre along with a similar proposed project in Somerset, NY have received support from various organizations and entities. The Lansing project would involve $100M in capital investment for renovations and a 15MW solar farm and would create 30-40 full-time jobs with average salaries of $40,000-$60,000, as well as 100 construction jobs.
A letter in The Buffalo News, authored by Jim Cahill, President of the New York Building and Construction Trades and Lisa Dix, Senior New York Campaign Manager for Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign expressed their organizations' support of the proposed projects.
The projects are now awaiting responses to applications submitted to Empire State Development and NYPA.
