According to Guru Club, President Trump on July 16 called for New York State to immediately reverse its data center policy, describing data centers as a major driver of future job creation and a significant revenue source for states.
Trump stated that New York Governor Kathy Hochul had halted all data center construction projects in the state, prompting companies to relocate to Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and other states offering more favorable conditions. He argued that the policy decision would cost New York substantial tax revenue and employment opportunities.
