A major business group in New York City is speaking out against Governor Kathy Hochul's proposal to impose a one-year moratorium on data center construction in the state. The ban, which aims to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, has been met with opposition from the Partnership for New York City, a prominent business organization that represents some of the city's largest companies. According to the group, the ban would not only harm the city's economy but also hinder its ability to compete with other major tech hubs. As the city grapples with the complexities of balancing economic growth with environmental concerns, the Partnership's stance highlights the contentious nature of this issue.
