A new $2.7 billion development project has been proposed for a zoned industrial park in Westfield, Mass., according to The Westfield News.
The news outlet said the development project would turn Westfield into the hub of the data center market in the Northeast.
Located in the Westfield Data Center Campus, the project will include an expected 10 three-story data center buildings with a total of 2.7 million square feet of data center space, two accessory buildings and additional site improvements to be built out over a 12- to- 18-year period.
Westfield mayor Donald Humason called the project a “unicorn,” adding that it is the greatest project to fit into the space the city has.
“No warehouses, no trucks, no discharges into air, water, land; just electricity and data,” said Humason. “It’s clean. It’s green. I envision glass and steel buildings, the many jobs that accompany that, as well as the tax revenue for the city.”
