In a bold move to boost New York's economic growth, Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin's running mate, Rep. Anthony Delgado's replacement, Rep. Andrew Giuliani's running mate, Rep. Alison Esposito's running mate, and current Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Benjamin Blakeman, has promised to dismantle Governor Kathy Hochul's contentious data center moratorium. The moratorium, which has been in place since 2021, has been criticized by many as an overly restrictive policy that stifles innovation and hinders the state's ability to compete with neighboring states in the burgeoning data storage industry. Blakeman's vow to end the moratorium has been met with enthusiasm from business leaders and tech advocates, who see it as a key step towards revitalizing New York's economy. As Hochul faces a tough re-election battle, Blakeman's stance on this issue could prove to be a significant talking point in the campaign.
