Everett, Massachusetts, is considering a new zoning ordinance to regulate data center development on a 105-acre waterfront site, aiming to balance economic growth with community concerns. The proposed rules include size limits, strict water and electricity usage, and noise controls, which developer Everett Landco has voiced concerns about. The Everett City Council is scheduled to deliberate the ordinance, which could set a precedent for managing data center expansion.
