Sharon data center expansion project needs zoning variance

Sharon city leaders are in discussions regarding a proposed $1.5 billion data center expansion project by Bitfarm, which would convert a former Bitmining facility into a fully operational data center campus. The project requires a zoning variance due to building height, with the decision pending before the city's zoning board after public meetings. Some residents express opposition to the project's location in a populated area, while proponents highlight the creation of 134 high-paying jobs.
