Opposition and litigation at this site

How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.
Gov. Hochul's July 14, 2026 executive order imposes a one-year statewide freeze on hyperscale (>50MW) data-center permits and explicitly names the Lysander proposal as caught by it (its ~300MW interconnection request exceeds the threshold); this followed months of residents packing town meetings over electric demand.
Power and water
Ranalli Super DC, LLC filed a NYISO grid-interconnection request in May 2025 for 300 MW; no on-site generation is described in the sources.
Notes on the record
Early-stage proposal on ~120 acres in Lysander, Onondaga County, with a grid interconnection request of up to 300 MW. Very early / single-source → confidence rumored. Coordinates are the Lysander area centroid. NO STATUS CHANGE, the status moved AWAY from advancing, not toward it. Lysander adopted a six-month data-center moratorium on 2026-05-07 after organised opposition, so the project remains proposed with no local approval. Community reception is documented as opposition ('Citizens Against Lysander Data Center'); the record already carries a community value so I have not proposed overwriting it. Note the acreage differs between sources (124 acres in the Eagle News piece, 120 in Rockefeller), not resolved, and landAcres is already populated.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
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.
