Its arrival to North Jersey was supposed to stay hush-hush. Secrets are hard to keep, however, when a multibillion-dollar public company that runs the New York Stock Exchange constructs an enormous brick structure in a town of about 24,000 people, along a busy state highway. A developer and contractors behind the project have stayed mum. One employee with builder Structure Tone even feigned ignorance of the project, repeatedly telling a reporter, "I have no idea what you’re talking about," even though his company’s signs are posted at the Mahwah site. Within real estate circles, however, the New York Stock Exchange’s new data center along Route 17 has been an open secret. Public documents filed in Mahwah and with the Securities and Exchange Commission also mention the project. And public officials don’t mind talking about the project in interviews. "It’s going to be an extremely sensitive site, and security will be paramount," said Mahwah Mayor Richard Martel, who was among local and state officials who toured the site recently. He called the data center a "wonderful thing for the township." Little is publicly known about how the stock exchange’s Mahwah data center will serve Wall Street and the broader financial system. Whatever its role, state homeland security officials say the site is regarded as part of the country’s most "critical infrastructure. "Nobody likes to talk about [them] because it’s critical that they maintain security to protect their networks," Kolodkin said, adding: "They don’t want to become a target." The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has designated the stock exchange’s Mahwah data center as among "few dozen" high-priority pieces of the United State’s "critical infrastructure." While he declined to elaborate, Kisch said it was the only data center in New Jersey with such a significant ranking. ... Montroy said builders and contractors have not cut corners. "When the building is ultimately built, it’s going to be safe," he said. "There’s no doubt in my mind that that’s going to be one of the safer places to be if there’s an attack."
