Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of October 24, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Amazon Data Services Westborough in Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Notes on the record
Amazon Data Services Inc. purchased 600 Friberg Parkway (an existing ~99,150 sq ft former State Street Corp data center) and the adjacent 800 Friberg Parkway (greenfield land at the time of sale) for $11.6M combined, per a November 24, 2022 report, the two parcels total 19 acres, treated here as one representative multi-site record. Cleanview's tracker still lists status as "Planned" as of 2026-09-12; no independent confirmation of construction start or energization was found, so status is recorded as proposed rather than under construction. The investment figure reflects the disclosed real-estate acquisition price, not a separately-disclosed build-out cost.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- How the community has received it
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
