Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

GCEDC scheduled a public hearing on the tax-incentive package for the enlarged $19.46 billion application.
Underlying source
Source notes
Proposed three-building hyperscale campus at the Western New York Science, Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP), Town of Alabama, Genesee County - by capital investment the largest data center proposal found for New York as of September 2026. GCEDC states a "$19.46 billion" capital investment and "$285 million in PILOT/host revenues" for Genesee County, the Town of Alabama and the Oakfield-Alabama Central School District, with a public hearing "Thursday, March 19 at 7 p.m. at the Town of Alabama Fire Hall, 2230 Judge Road, Basom, NY 14013." Investigative Post reports the incentive package as "$1.46 billion in tax breaks for the creation of 125 jobs," of which "$1.43 billion in sales tax breaks" and "a $31 million mortgage tax break". The planned capacity of 500 MW records the sentence "Stream has said it will use 500 megawatts of electricity, more than 80 percent of all the power available at the STAMP industrial park" - this is stated electricity use, not a certified IT load or an interconnection award. Reported figures conflict: (a) acreage - Investigative Post says the campus spans "over 90 acres at the 1,250-acre industrial park" and the land area is set to 90; an aggregator listing gives 130 acres and had not been verified as of September 2026, so it is not used. (b) construction jobs - GCEDC's CEO is quoted at "an additional 1,000 workers temporarily," while "the agency reports on its cost-benefit analysis for the project which says construction will employ more than 16,000"; the lower, attributed figure is recorded. (c) capital cost has moved from "$6.3 billion a year ago" to "$11 billion" to "$19 billion"; the GCEDC-published $19.46B is used. As of 2026-09-09, no source retrieved states a water withdrawal volume for the campus, a confirmed hydropower allocation (the Tonawanda Seneca Nation letter opposes a prospective allocation, which is not the same as one being granted), or a construction start date - so no energy source is recorded. The AI classification is recorded as likely: the project is universally described as an AI-boom data campus but as of September 2026 no retrieved source stated the workload. Coordinates are geocoded to the Town of Alabama, Genesee County, not to a confirmed parcel. The incentive figure is a requested amount, not a confirmed or awarded PILOT; On July 14, 2026 Gov. Hochul signed an executive order establishing a temporary statewide moratorium on large data centers (50 MW or more), which The Batavian reported could delay construction of the Stream campus. Reporting describes a requested package worth about $1.46bn from the Genesee County IDA for the STAMP site, not an awarded one. Subsidy entries have no granted-versus-requested distinction, so neither the package, its two components, nor the $285 million in PILOT/host revenues under the proposed agreements is recorded as a subsidy entry; doing so would present unawarded money as awarded. As of October 2026, none of the cited sources reports an executed IDA agreement; the Rochester Business Journal described the abatements in June 2026 as still being sought.
