The Seneca Nation is contesting the Genesee County Economic Development Center's (GCEDC) lead agency status for the SEQR review of the proposed STREAM data center, citing potential environmental risks to their territory. They have requested that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation take over the review, while GCEDC defends its expertise and previous responses to the Nation's concerns. The project, which aims to create 120 jobs, is projected to consume significant electricity and emit hazardous pollutants, despite proposed noise mitigation measures.
