Over 100 environmental and community groups are pressing New York Governor Hochul to sign a one-year moratorium on new hyperscale data centre construction into law; the bill passed the state legislature on 4 June and would make New York the first US state to enact such a halt.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If Hochul signs this, New York becomes the first state to pause data centre builds—forcing any AI or compute company planning East Coast expansion to pivot to Pennsylvania, New Jersey or elsewhere. You have weeks to lock land and power agreements outside New York before the window closes.
