At the Aug. 8 Special Town Meeting, voters approved 32-30 the sale of 39.1 acres of town-owned vacant land at 125 Alexander Parkway to NE Edge, LLC, who seeks to build the data center on it and two adjacent parcels to support some of the world’s largest data companies, like Apple, Google, Microsoft, IBM and Meta. The sale was authorized for $5,004,800. Town Manager Mary Calorio said on Monday that she was unaware of any residents’ objections. Once the data center is built out, the town stands to gain as much as $165 million over the 30 year life of the host community agreement. Calorio spoke highly of the project. “This project is environmentally clean and financially advantageous to the town,” she said.
