The full story

On November 10, 2026, residents of Sutton, Massachusetts, gathered at the Town Hall to protest a proposed 10-building data center campus. The project, presented by the town manager and backed by Unified Global Packaging Group and the Kraft Group, is estimated to cost $16 billion and would be located on Unified Parkway. During the meeting, residents voiced significant concerns regarding the scale of the project, which would be the fourth-largest data center in the United States. While town officials highlighted the potential for millions in annual tax revenue to address a growing budget deficit, attendees spoke against the development. The meeting was described as tense, with one individual removed by authorities following repeated interruptions. The proposal remains under consideration as the town evaluates its long-term financial options.
