Massachusetts is building a Green High-Performance Computing Center in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Holyoke is an interesting place: one of the first "planned, industrial" cities. They built a big dam and then brought power canals on two or three levels through the city where mills were constructed. Cheap energy and globalization killed the mill industries and the town has been blighted for more than a generation. This computing facility is aimed to foster a high-tech industry in the area. We'll see.
