Yonkers soundstages eyed for data center conversion if film project fails

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A proposal suggests converting 15 underutilized soundstages in Yonkers, New York, into data centers. This plan aims to provide a financial backup if the planned "Hollywood On The Hudson" project fails to deliver promised tax relief to the city. The data centers would reportedly pay $1 million per megawatt to Yonkers and could be cooled using water from the Hudson River. AI

IMPACT Potential conversion of infrastructure to support AI server farms highlights the growing demand for data center capacity.

RANK_REASON The item discusses a potential repurposing of infrastructure, which falls under the 'tool' category as it relates to the practical application and development of facilities rather than a core AI release or research.
