H5 Data Centers Buffalo, in order

What happened with this project, oldest first: the stages it reached, what the county and its cities decided, and every dated step on the record. Each entry links its source.

1 event, September 14, 2026 to September 14, 2026. Also on the record, under the month each belongs to: 2 statements and 1 line that is not an event of its own. The facts, newest first: the record; the place: New York.

A plain date is the day it happened, as the source states it, or as the line's own sentence states it ("voted on July 6"), which is where the line sits even when it was filed later. "Reported" and a date is the day a source published a line that carries no date of its own. Those lines, and lines that describe rather than report an act, sit under their month rather than on the timeline, with what was said and the figures other sources gave. Every timeline on the site reads its lines by this one rule. How dates are read.

    2. (said in the source itself)

      Statement · Joseph Golombek, Buffalo Councilmember

      Buffalo Councilmember Joseph Golombek says the moratorium goal is to give the city time to update its zoning rules before more facilities are developed and to ensure future projects don't put additional strain on neighborhood infrastructure, including water and sewer systems. spectrumlocalnews.com local outlet

    3. (said in the source itself)

      Statement · Joseph Golombek, Buffalo Councilmember

      Golombek says he would like to see data centers assist communities they locate in with infrastructure funding because they put a burden on infrastructure such as water and sewer systems. spectrumlocalnews.com local outlet

On the timeline: a stage change; an entry that reports an act on the day the source or its own sentence gives; and a decision, a published scorecard event on a row at or under the record's county, that reports an act. Under the months: a statement that names this record, a figure another source gave about it, matched by place and developer, an entry dated only by the day its source was published, and an entry or a decision that describes rather than reports an act. Each is on the record in its own right and keeps its own link.
