Internet giants, Yahoo and State officials of America are working together in an attempt to establish a Yahoo data center at Western New York. Within that center, computer systems and other equipment would be housed.

State officials have accepted that such an act would not result in creating job opportunities. However collaborating with world renowned company would assist in other economic development efforts. Governor David Paterson has urged the New York Power Authority to come up with a low-cost power plan for Yahoo which would result in attracting Yahoo to the Buffalo area.
