Data Center Projects Near NPM 2026

Stream Data Centers is seeking $1.4 billion in tax breaks from the Genesee County Economic Development Center for a data center project in Genesee County, New York, which is facing mounting public opposition ahead of a hearing. Stream has indicated it has Fortune 50 tenants lined up for the facility, though the specific tenant identity has not been publicly disclosed, suggesting a hyperscale or major enterprise customer. The project is still in the planning and approval stage, with the tax incentive package being a critical gating factor. This is a significant signal for BD professionals as the massive tax break request indicates a very large-scale project, and the opposition could delay or alter the project timeline. Engagement should be timely given the active public hearing process and the developer's need to secure approvals.

Stream Data Centers announced a new data center development at STAMP (Science and Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park) in western New York. The company describes the project as a "best-use" compatible development for the STAMP facility. Capacity and project value have not been disclosed. The project is in early-stage planning, with Stream emphasizing alignment with STAMP's existing infrastructure. GCs and MEP subs targeting upstate New York should track this project for construction and subcontracting opportunities as permitting advances.
