The Massena Planning Board is scheduled to consider an update on major changes to a proposed data center project at the former Reynolds site during a public meeting on Aug. 20, 2026, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item is listed as a presentation by NYDIG, followed by a question-and-answer period restricted to the Town Planning Board. According to the published agenda, questions from the public on the project will be hosted at a future public meeting, not on Aug. 20.
This matters to residents because the meeting concerns a proposed data center at a former industrial site in Massena, a project that would represent a significant land-use change for the town. The agenda indicates the board will review updates on the project’s scope or design before any public comment period is opened.
- Meeting date: Aug. 20, 2026
- Location: Massena, NY
- Agenda includes: review of minutes from the May 2026 meeting
- Main item: NYDIG presentation on updates to the proposed data center at the old Reynolds site
- Q&A on Aug. 20 limited to Town Planning Board members only
- Public questions deferred to a future public meeting, per the agenda
According to the published agenda, the Planning Board is scheduled to first review prior minutes, then hear the NYDIG presentation and conduct its own internal question-and-answer session. The agenda states that a separate future meeting will be held for public questions on the project.
Residents seeking more information or planning to attend can review the full agenda posted on the Town of Massena’s CivicPlus AgendaCenter page. The agenda does not specify a public comment period for the Aug. 20 meeting itself, but indicates a subsequent public session will be scheduled for that purpose.
