Stream/Apollo campus at STAMP

A March 2026 public hearing ran five and a half hours with most of the 200+ attendees opposed. The Tonawanda Seneca Nation, whose territory borders the site, cites threats to sacred lands and has sued alongside the Sierra Club to block development; critics also question the undisclosed tenant and subsidies of roughly $11.7 million per permanent job. Supporters project 1,000 construction jobs a year and $500M+ in fees and taxes over 30 years. New York's new statewide pause clouds the project's permits. Update (Sept 2026): the county development agency postponed its environmental findings vote amid the Tonawanda Seneca Nation and Sierra Club lawsuit and the statewide moratorium; no vote on the $1.46B abatement package has been confirmed (The Daily News). Update (Oct 2026): the town planning board reviewed Stream's revised site plans in October, and the developer says it remains committed despite the statewide moratorium (The Batavian).
