Data Centers in Groton

In this "Internet of Things" (IoT) era, we are using a record number of devices, from our smart speakers to our coffee makers and even our cars. All of this computing requires data processing. That kind of data processing occurs at a data center.

In order to develop regulations for locating data centers, the Town of Groton Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) engaged in a lengthy public process that has been documented on this project page. After a final public hearing in June 2023, new Data Center regulations were adopted, as reflected in the current zoning:

Section 5.1-6.F  Data Center (New Eff. 07-14-2023)
