Kraft Group proposing to build data center campus in Sutton
The Kraft Group and Unified Global Packaging Group are proposing a 10-building data center campus in Sutton, Massachusetts, with construction planned from 2029 through 2033. The proposal could represent more than $16 billion in investment and consume about 900 megawatts of power, but no formal application has been filed and key impacts remain under review.
The Kraft Group and Unified Global Packaging Group have proposed developing a 10-building data center campus on Unified Global Packaging property near Boston Road and Providence Road in Sutton. The project would involve buildings of about 250,000 square feet each, with the first two targeted for completion in 2029 and full build-out expected by 2033.
According to a memo from Sutton Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz, the campus could represent more than $16 billion in private investment and generate an estimated $10.4 million in annual tax revenue during its first phase, increasing to roughly $27.8 million after completion. At full scale, the development is expected to require about 900 megawatts of power.
The proposal was scheduled to come before the Sutton Select Board, though Cyganiewicz emphasized that it remains tentative. No application has been submitted, and details involving power, water, equipment and site impacts have not been finalized. Town department heads encouraged an objective public review, while noting that any zoning changes would ultimately require consideration by Town Meeting members.
