How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: in litigation means the facility is or has been the subject of a lawsuit related to its siting, permitting, or operation.

Pending, U.S. District Court, W.D. Michigan (filed May 26, 2026). 30 megawatt high-performance computing and digital asset mining facility in Dowagiac, Cass County, operating since March 2022. Nearby residents have raised noise and environmental concerns ('nothing but a noise trap'); Cass County adopted a transparency resolution in response.

Power and water

Operator reports an agreement in principle with the local electric utility to increase available power to 300 MW, plus an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to supply an extra 40 MW. Neither utility is named in the release.

Notes on the record

Former manufacturing site at 415 East Prairie Ronde Street, Dowagiac; converting from Bitcoin-mining infrastructure toward AI/HPC colocation use, branded by the company as its 'Michigan AI Data Center.' Currently ~30 MW operational (still includes legacy bitcoin mining), targeting 340 MW -- hence aiClassification 'mixed_use' rather than 'confirmed'. Recently completed a 48.5-acre acquisition, bringing the campus to ~83 acres total. Publicly traded company (Hyperscale Data, Inc.) sold ~100 BTC and opened a bitcoin-backed credit facility to fund construction, per its own reporting. Cass County passed a resolution urging more development transparency after resident noise complaints. Coordinates are an approximate Dowagiac city estimate, not parcel-geocoded.

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.

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
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.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
