If GCEDC thought they could avoid hearing from you by holding their public hearings on a weekday afternoon, they were very wrong. More than 50 people turned out yesterday to say NO Data Centers at STAMP! Those in attendance spoke forcefully and eloquently about why they do not want hundreds of millions of their taxpayer dollars going to subsidize a nasty, polluting, energy and water wasting data center that would be built right next to the Tonawanda Seneca Nation's Big Woods on sensitive wetlands.
In response to overwhelming pressure, GCEDC CEO Mark Masse caved. He re-opened the written comment period on the proposed data center financial incentives until February 6 at 5pm, and committed to not making a decision on the data center applicants at this month's board meeting.
Let's celebrate these wins, and our collective power. Then, let's escalate! We're demanding that GCEDC hold a new set of public hearings on the proposed data center financial incentives. The hearing must be scheduled in consultation with the Tonawanda Seneca Nation Council of Chiefs, at least a month in advance, and on a weekday evening.
