Developers floated a data center campus of about 1.16 million square feet south of Old State Road in East Fishkill, but no formal application was ever filed with the town. Supervisor Nick D'Alessandro said publicly that data centers are not listed as a permitted use in the town's industrial zones, and on June 26, 2026 the Town Board unanimously passed a three-year moratorium running through July 1, 2029 that blocks data centers except those ancillary to an existing or permitted use and under 20 MW, or eligible for an Economic Development Special Permit. The episode became a reference point in the statewide debate, with activists citing it in calls for state legislation.
