Treetop 1-gigawatt AI data center idea (East Fishkill)
Also called: 1 Gig Data Center East Fishkill
Developer Treetop asked the state grid operator if the area could power a 1,000-megawatt AI data center south of I-84. It never filed a plan with the town. In June 2026 the town board voted for a 3-year freeze on data centers over 20 megawatts.
Where things stand: Never formally filed with the town. The town banned data centers over 20 megawatts until July 2029, and the request is no longer in the state grid queue.
🕒 Latest update (June 25, 2026): Town board voted unanimously for a 3-year freeze on data centers over 20 megawatts.
