Cromwell Residents Raise Concerns Over Proposed Data Center Development
What happened
Concerns are growing in Cromwell regarding the possible construction of a data center. While no formal proposal has been filed, residents are advocating for amendments to Cromwell’s zoning regulations to define and regulate such facilities. The developer, Global Common, has reportedly been working on the project since October 2025, and the facility would be located next to Cromwell Middle School.

Why it matters
The discussion centers on local regulatory control over major infrastructure projects. The developer stated that the town confirmed on April 10th that current zoning allows the data center by right, but residents are seeking to establish new regulations through a public hearing.
