Town of Massena Planning Board discussed the intended ultimate use of the ZeroC and Petawatt site while reviewing its proposed substation on February 20, 2025. The minutes record questions about use classification and potentially wasteful cryptocurrency activity, alongside the proponent account of intended computing use and willingness to make a conditional commitment concerning cryptocurrency.
