Farmersville Town Board Weighs Ban on Cryptocurrency Mining Facilities

The Farmersville Town Board held a public hearing on June 10, 2026 on proposed Local Law 5-2026, which would prohibit cryptocurrency mining facilities within the town. Town Clerk Bridget Holmes issued the legal notice announcing that residents would have a chance to speak for or against the measure before the board acted. The proposal reflects a wider trend among small Western New York towns weighing whether to restrict energy-intensive crypto mining operations. The public notice did not indicate an outcome, leaving the law's fate to be decided by the board following public comment.
