The Kraft Group is proposing a 10-building data center campus in Sutton spanning 2.5 million square feet, with a private investment exceeding $16 billion. The tentative project would draw 900 megawatts of power at full build-out, dwarfing the $2.8 billion total assessed value of all property in the town. Developers plan to open the first two structures in 2029 and add two buildings annually until completion in 2033.
Kraft Group Proposes Sutton Data Center
The Kraft Group is proposing a sixteen billion dollar data center campus in Sutton featuring ten buildings. Local officials note the project could significantly boost town tax revenue but requires careful review.
The proposal comes as municipalities across the state impose data center moratoriums amid concerns over energy consumption and environmental impacts. Under an executive order signed by Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey in September, data center projects require local and community approval before permits can be issued. No formal application has been filed yet, and critical details regarding water, power, and site impacts remain pending, according to a memo from Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz.
