A Terawolf project-development VP told Lansing residents the company has done additional technical work, is adjusting site plans in response to town questions, and asked the town to keep the review process open for fact-based evaluation.

About 200 people attended a Town of Lansing public input session where a string of residents urged the board to ban hyperscale data centers at the former Milliken Station site over concerns about noise, water use, contamination and grid impacts.

Planning board and applicant debated noise metrics, a requested 10‑ft acoustical fence (variance), and mapping of the lease area versus the larger parcel. Applicant's noise modeling showed likely levels in the mid‑30s to mid‑40s at nearby properties with the acoustic fence; staff proposed retaining a 60 dB standard as the default metric but said the board may set a lower limit.

After public comments, the Town Board discussed options including an outright ban, a time-limited moratorium, or tailored size limits; the board asked town attorneys to draft proposed local-law text for future hearings.

Multiple residents told the town board that Governor Hochul's EO 62 is insufficient and asked the town to pursue stronger local protections against hyperscale data centers; the town scheduled a public input session for Sept. 29 at Lansing Middle School.

Company representatives presented a battery energy storage project and the board opened a public hearing. The applicants submitted an updated EAF, emergency-response and decommissioning plans and a letter from Tesla about 40% fan-speed operation; the board requested EAF corrections, fire-department coordination and decommissioning review.

At a Town of Lansing public Q&A, a resident said an Ithaca Voice article blamed residents for FOIL requests; town officials apologized for tone, explained a surge in requests and said staffing and legal-review needs make wholesale public posting difficult.

Town leaders said infrastructure needs (roads, aging water mains) and unexpected legal expenses are putting pressure on budgets; they described reserve rules and one-time solar payments that must be used for capital projects, not operations.

Town officials said the Colliers consultant team has faced medical delays and that the board is pressing to get the zoning rewrite back on schedule, with a target to complete major work within the contract period (through 2027–2028).

The board approved an agreement with Mancuso Brightman PLLC to provide special appellate counsel in a matter involving a board member, adding a clause that the defendant must reimburse the town for legal fees if found guilty and removed from office; one member recused and public commenters debated taxpayers covering legal fees.
