Notes on the record
Proposed on the former ProMedica Hospital site off I-75 and North Dixie Highway, Frenchtown Township; site is zoned Planned Unit Development, allowing industrial use. ~200 acres; preliminary plans include a pedestrian/bike path and landscaped berms/tree buffers along North Dixie Highway. Cloverleaf's own FAQ describes it as still 'in the development phase' with a taxable investment of 'more than $1B' but does not disclose a MW capacity figure. Cloverleaf is already tracked elsewhere (MO, OK) as a data-center developer. Note: Cloverleaf's own FAQ page refers to the project once as 'Project Ironwood' -- unclear whether this is the same project under an earlier working name or a distinct nearby Cloverleaf site (a 'Project Ironwood' near Dundee/Milan Townships in the same county has been reported separately elsewhere); treated as one record here pending disambiguation in a future pass. Coordinates are an approximate Frenchtown Township / former-hospital-site estimate, not parcel-geocoded. Confirmed absence for capacityMw: the developer states publicly that the site's available power has not yet been determined, so no MW figure exists to record rather than one being missed.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
