Data Center Zoning Regulations

At a glance

What: Possible zoning regulations for data centers in Millbury. At the 2026-05-11 - Planning Board meeting the planning director raised data center regulations as a lower-priority item for possible fall zoning amendments, saying none are being proposed; discussion was informal only.
Where it stands: No data center proposal, article, moratorium, special permit or vote was found. The November 2026 Special Town Meeting warrant has no data center article.
Next: Watch Planning Board agendas for a draft. The neighboring Sutton proposal, Kraft Group Data Center Proposal, is related context.

Separate work on solar and battery storage zoning is under way with the regional planning commission; it is not about data centers.
Several image-only agenda PDFs could not be searched, so absence of a mention is not conclusive.

Planning director flagged data center regulations as a possible third fall priority behind clean energy/battery storage and flood plain bylaws; no proposal exists.
