Zohran Mamdani Backs Major Expansion of New York’s Data Center Moratorium

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani supports expanding the state's data center moratorium by urging Governor Kathy Hochul to sign a bill lowering power thresholds and imposing renewable energy and labor standards. The bill aims to codify and extend the existing moratorium that pauses large data center projects pending environmental review, reflecting growing anti-data-center and AI concerns nationwide.
