## Key points

- Sutton residents objected to a proposed $16 billion data centre.
- The project could cut average home tax bills by thousands.
- Power, water and other impacts remain under review.

## Summary

Residents in Sutton, Massachusetts, voiced unanimous opposition among six public speakers to a proposed $16 billion data centre campus backed by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s company. The project could provide substantial tax revenue and reduce household bills, but residents raised concerns about electricity, water, noise, traffic and the cost of town services.

Town Manager Austin Cyganiewicz estimated the first two buildings could generate about $10.4 million in annual property taxes from fiscal 2031, rising to $27.8 million for all 10 buildings from fiscal 2035. He projected average single-family home tax bills could fall by about $2,300 and $5,800 respectively; the town’s budget gap could reach $9.1 million by fiscal 2033. The proposed campus would draw around 900 megawatts, but no application has been filed, and the regional grid operator has not received a formal proposal or begun reviewing it.
