Kraft Group eyes $16B data center development in Massachusetts
The Kraft Group is “in the early stages of planning a group of data centers in the Central Massachusetts town of Sutton that the town manager says would total more than” $16B in investment. Sutton Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz, who detailed the potential project in a memo to the town’s Select Board, said that the proposal “is tentative and no applications have yet been filed.” The project would “bring to Massachusetts the type of sprawling construction that have quickly led to community opposition across much of the country as well as here at home.” The Kraft Group’s proposal would be the “largest in Massachusetts by far.” A proposed data center project in Westfield totals $4B. The Kraft Group is “proposing to build 10 data center buildings.” Cyganiewicz said that it would “open in phases from 2029 through 2033.” Unified Global Packaging Group, a subsidiary of the Kraft Group, owns roughly 390 acres in a corner of Sutton. The Sutton Select Board isn’t scheduled to vote on the data center proposal when it meets Tuesday night. Cyganiewicz said that first steps will include “establishing a zoning bylaw and negotiating a community benefits agreement” (BOSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL, 11/10).
