Draft source-family roster and gaps
- economic development incentives — searched_partial
Source references: MA-S0006
- www.mass.gov is entirely unreachable from this session, so no state incentive programme page, award list or certification register was read.
- The 2024 tax exemption the Compute Atlas notes attribute to the Westfield project was not verified from any source.
- No Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council certified-project list was consulted.
- utility commission large load — searched
Source references: MA-S0004
- The docket index carries descriptions and petitioners but not filing text, so a data center named inside a filing rather than in a docket caption would not be found.
- ISO New England interconnection or large-load queue records were not consulted.
- Eversource, National Grid and Unitil tariff filings were not read individually.
- environmental construction permits — searched_partial
Source references: MA-S0005, MA-S0007
- No MassDEP air or emergency-engine permit was read, although the TierPoint Andover page itself describes two 2.5 MW generators that would normally appear in such records.
- No MEPA Environmental Notification Form or EEA number was retrieved for the Westfield project or any other.
- Municipal building and grading permits were not reachable; the Westfield and Lowell city sites timed out.
- municipal planning assessor gis — searched
Source references: MA-S0001, MA-S0002, MA-S0003, MA-S0008
- Massachusetts assessor use codes have no data center class, so the parcel screen depended on owner names and known addresses; an operator holding a site through an unrecognised LLC would not be found.
- Westfield and Lowell city sites timed out, so no planning board decision, zoning case or moratorium text was read for either.
- Boston and Somerville planning and zoning case files were not consulted.
- MAP_PAR_ID is null for Lowell rows in the statewide layer, so the Markley Lowell parcels are identified by LOC_ID only.
- tax abatement development agreements — searched_partial
Source references: MA-S0010, MA-S0011
- The 2024 Westfield tax exemption reported in the licensed dataset was not verified.
- The disputed Lowell abatement and its job commitments were not read.
- No state Economic Assistance Coordinating Council or municipal TIF register was consulted.
- operator disclosures — searched
Source references: MA-S0013, MA-S0014
- Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle and Apple location pages were not checked for Massachusetts; none of these operators appears in any source opened here.
- Markley Group's own site was not opened, so its Boston and Lowell capacity claims come only from the licensed dataset.
- Iron Mountain and Equinix facility pages were not opened, so the two new parcel candidates have no operator disclosure at all.
- open datasets directories — searched
Source references: MA-S0012
- Directory listings (Data Center Map, Baxtel, datacenters.com, PeeringDB) were not opened; the Baxtel and Data Center Map URLs the dataset cites for Westfield and Markley Boston were not retrieved.
- No cross-check was made against FracTracker or other trackers.
- historical closures withdrawals names — searched
Source references: MA-S0009
- The reported Westfield council moratorium and the reported Lowell moratorium were not read; both city sites timed out.
- The Massachusetts lawsuit reported against the Lowell facility was not traced to a court docket.
- No archived or historical sweep was made for Massachusetts data centers that closed before 2021.
- news and other discovery — not_searched
Source references:
- No news or advocacy source was opened for Massachusetts; the Boston Globe, WBUR, Boston.com, Harvard Crimson, NBC Boston and Working Mass articles the licensed dataset cites were not retrieved.
No reviewed records published. This does not mean there are no data centers in this state.
