It has been reported in the New York Post that Yahoo! is being courted by "State Officials" to open a Data Center in Western New York. Many will recall that shortly after George Pataki became Governor there was a lot of discussion about consolidating 49 New York State managed Data Centers to the Tech City property in Ulster County's Town of Ulster. The consolidations would have saved New Yorkers tens of thousands of dollars a year. However politicians, spearheaded by then New York State Majority Leader, Joe Bruno, squashed the plan as it meant hundreds of constituent relocation's.
Why is it that Empire State Development is not pitching the glut of data center space at Tech City or in Dutchess County along the IBM corridor? Yahoo is quoted as saying they only need 150,000 square feet.
