New Bedford Slams the Door on AI Data Centers as Power, Water, Neighborhood Fears Force Citywide Freeze

New Bedford officials are moving toward a citywide prohibition on data centers, treating it as a temporary pause so planners can write rules for large-scale AI facilities rather than the smaller server rooms assumed when current zoning was adopted. The City Council’s ordinance committee recommended the measure on October 26 after the Planning Board unanimously backed it on October 7, sending it to the full council.

Veterans Day 2026 parades, ceremonies planned across Greater New Bedford

Veterans Day is here, and communities across Greater New Bedford are coming together to thank the neighbors, friends and family members who have served in the Armed Forces. A veteran is defined as “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.” U.S. veterans make up less than 6.1% of the total adult population, with about 15.8 million veterans living in the U.S. Originally called Armistice Day , Veterans Day became a legal holiday on May 13, 1938, to be observed each year on Nov. 11. The holiday traces its roots to World War I, the “war to end all wars,” which ended with an armistice signed in Europe on Nov. 11, 1918. Today, it’s a chance to say thank you to the members of our community who have served, and to those who are serving now. Looking for a way to show your gratitude? Here’s a list of local events where you can mark Veterans Day and celebrate the veterans in your hometown. Acushnet Veterans Day Parade: Nov. 8, 10 a.m. Come cheer on Acushnet’s veterans at the town’s Veterans Day Parade, which kicks

National Grid offers Fall River homes free home battery systems

National Grid is launching a pilot program that will provide no-cost home battery systems to as many as 125 income-eligible households in the Fall River area. The BackupBattery+ program will offer systems with up to 45 kWh of battery storage, according to a community announcement. The batteries can provide at least four hours of backup power during outages while also helping reduce demand on the local electric grid when electricity use is high. National Grid is partnering with Haven Energy and Citizens for Citizens on outreach to eligible residents. The pilot is designed to test whether coordinated residential batteries can address local grid needs while expanding access to technology that can carry significant upfront costs. “BackupBattery+ will deliver a direct benefit to Fall River area customers, providing no-cost access to backup power and battery storage technologies that have traditionally been out of reach for many households,” said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Energy Efficiency and Clean Programs at National Grid. “This pilot will also help us test how coordinated home batteries can address local grid needs and learn whether this model can deliver meaningful value for participating households, the local community, and the broader electric system.” How the home battery

Transformation Progresses at Century and Stuart Bogs

It’s not intuitive. When cranberry bogs are retired, repairing nature sometimes looks intrusive with big trucks and equipment on site. But it’s all very intentional: the water has been diverted for years and needs to find its way back to the flow that will benefit fish and wildlife and protect against flooding. And, left alone, invasive plants would overwhelm the former cranberry bogs. A clear design and workplan are necessary, and that often means moving mud with big trucks. You’ve seen that this fall at two projects: Stuart Bogs and Century Bogs.
