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).

Having convenient proximity to Boston made Route 1 the perfect spot for car sales. As traffic increased over time, so did the number of dealerships who planted roots.

Framingham house fire displaces 3, sends 1 to hospital
Three people were displaced Monday, Nov. 9, in a single-alarm house fire in Framingham, authorities said. The cause of the 7:30 p.m. fire at 6 Phelps Road is not known, Fire Chief Michael Dutcher said in a release. Three adults were displaced in the fire. One was taken to a local hospital with chest pains, Dutcher said. Dutcher said the fire was quickly knocked down, but the damage was such that the residents would need to find alternative housing. “Our firefighters did an outstanding job quickly knocking down this fire and bringing the situation under control,” said Dutcher. “Their training, professionalism and quick response were critical in addressing the emergency.” According to the city’s Assessor’s Database, the 54-year-old split level home is owned by Carlos Leon and Maria Vasquez. The assessed value of the home is $583,400. The fire was just one of 50 calls firefighters responded to on Monday, Dutcher said in the release.
