Michigan Data Centers: The Weekly Download

Michigan data center developments include a proposed facility moving forward in Mason, a denied 26-megawatt project in Allen Park, and a $16 billion data center groundbreaking in Saline Township led by Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Legislative efforts to impose a one-year moratorium on data centers were introduced by State Sen. Jim Runestad but opposed by Whitmer, who emphasized environmental and energy accountability. Google is funding a water management initiative in Wayne County, and environmental concerns over wastewater capacity are highlighted by a moratorium in Ypsilanti.
