Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over ColoCrossing BUF1, Buffalo in Buffalo, Erie County, New York appears in the sources this registry tracks.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Notes on the record

13,000 sq ft carrier-neutral colocation facility; operator states 1.44 MW of utility power capacity, 1.4 MW of generator capacity and 130 tons of cooling, and markets the site as leveraging hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls (a regional-grid claim, not a documented allocation, so energy.source is left unset). Coordinates are a street-address geocode.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.

The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
