Newark America Mill
BrownfieldFitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts · Newark America
Newark America Mill is a natural gas plant in Fitchburg, Worcester, Massachusetts, retired 2024-12-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 6 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
