Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has issued an order leaving the decision to construct such facilities in the hands of local cities and towns. Many communities, like New Bedford, are exploring a temporary prohibition on data centers.
Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan says he is unaware that any company is looking to build a data center in Fall River but wants to keep an open mind on any proposals that may emerge.
