Description
Description | A $1.8 billion artificial intelligence data center is under construction at the Northeast Science and Technology Center (NEST) campus in Kenilworth, housed in the old Merck & Co. building. CoreWeave, a company specializing in AI infrastructure, purchased the property in 2025 to build the center. The project has faced pushback from residents concerned about water quality, flood risk, and potential increases in electric bills. The center uses a closed loop cooling system to avoid continuous use of local water and has its own power source, not tapping into the residential grid. The project is expected to create over 140 jobs and is estimated to be completed by the end of 2027. |
