Sunnyvale California Internet company Yahoo Inc. is looking to establish a data center in Western New York. Governor Paterson’s office confirms that they are talking with Yahoo executives and trying to convince them to do business in WNY.

Governor Paterson wants the New York Power Authority to come up with a low-cost power plan for Yahoo that would help lure them to the Buffalo area.
