What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The proposed moratorium on new data center facilities in Hudson will not apply to 75 Reed Road, the former Intel site, because the site holds an eight-year zoning freeze secured in 2023. This exemption is part of a broader state land initiative run by the Healey administration, which also includes auctioning undeveloped land for housing redevelopment.
