Westfield Planning Board Rejects Permit Extension for Proposed Data Center
The Westfield Planning Board refused to extend a special permit for Servistar Realties’ proposed 150-acre data center campus. The decision appears to end efforts to build what would have been New England’s largest data center, although the developer has 20 days to appeal.
Westfield’s Planning Board declined to extend a special permit for Servistar Realties, which has sought to develop a 150-acre data center campus in the western Massachusetts city since 2019. The project would have been the largest data center development in New England.
The refusal appears to leave the project effectively stalled or dead, but Servistar Realties can appeal the decision within 20 days. The data center update was included in a broader WBUR newsletter covering Massachusetts news and politics.
