Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 14, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Project Ironwood in Dundee, Monroe County, Michigan appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Power and water
Developer FAQ: "closed-loop cooling system, which requires a one-time fill and therefore uses significantly less water than older and less advanced data centers"; day-to-day water use described as domestic only.
Notes on the record
Separate Cloverleaf Infrastructure site from the tracked Project Cherry Blossom in Frenchtown Township, different township, different project name, and Ironwood was withdrawn in October 2025 while Cherry Blossom remains live. Acreage figures (~350 acres) appear only in third-party summaries and are deliberately omitted; the developer FAQ does not state acreage. Coordinates are a township-level geocode.
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
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
- How the community has received it
- Which utility serves it
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.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

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.
