Opposition and litigation at this site

Yes. Servistar Realties Westfield Data Center Campus in Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts is contested. Hearings, public comment, petitions, or organized opposition are on record, and no lawsuit has been filed so far. Westfield City Council voted unanimously on July 6, 2026 to enact a 365-day citywide moratorium on new data-center permits/construction after residents packed hearings over water and power-strain concerns; the moratorium is framed as not formally targeting Servistar's existing 2021 approvals.

Notes on the record

Would-be first Massachusetts hyperscale data center: 10-building, 2.7M sq ft campus over a long buildout (191/199 Servistar Industrial Way). Tax exemption secured 2024. Status is early and thin, no confirmed groundbreaking; conflicting signals on whether the project is still active.

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.

Cooling method and water use
Permanent jobs promised

Which document closes each gap

Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
