Kraft Group Proposes 10-Building Data Center Development in Mass. Town

The project would include 10 facilities and consume about 900 megawatts at full build-out, the town manager said.

  • On Tuesday, the Sutton Select Board reviewed a tentative $16 billion data center proposal from The Kraft Group and Unified Global Packaging Group, though no formal application has been filed.
  • Sutton faces a structural budget deficit projected to grow from about $300,000 in FY2028 to $9.1 million in FY2033, prompting officials to view the development as a potential revenue source.
  • The town estimates the centers could generate $10.4 million annually by FY2031, rising to $27.8 million by FY2035, potentially lowering property tax bills for single-family homes by about $5,800.
  • While some Sutton residents expressed concerns about traffic and noise, more than a dozen town department heads signed a letter calling the proposal a potential revenue source that "warrants careful, objective consideration."
  • The full development would require about 900 megawatts of electricity, a significant demand as data centers nationwide face scrutiny over environmental impacts and energy consumption.
