Eco-Yotta Inc. bought property at 357 County Road 9 in the Town of Oneonta in January 2025 and sought to rezone about 150 acres of farmland, previously used for farming and youth soccer, for a data center. The proposal prompted the town board to introduce a 12-month moratorium on data center construction in March 2026, set a public hearing for April 8, and adopt a one-year moratorium after residents turned out in support of it. A resident opposing the project gathered about 700 petition signatures.
