How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.

The proposal drew months of discussion and protests from Washington Township and neighbouring residents. After the withdrawal the township clerk proposed a temporary moratorium on all data-center applications, added to the 2026-05-20 board agenda, saying it 'will give our community time to put legal safeguards in place.'

Notes on the record

312 acres on the south side of 32 Mile Road between M-53 and Powell Road, spanning four parcels near Romeo State Airport and the former Romeo Ford plant. Status 'cancelled' reflects the withdrawn application; the company's attorney stated an intent to return after the township revises its zoning ordinance, so this is a pause rather than confirmed abandonment. Note the rezoning alone would NOT have permitted a data center, the source states a further 'special land use' approval would have been required. CONFIRMED ABSENCES: no megawatt capacity, investment figure, building count, water figure or job count is stated in either source. Coordinates are the US Census geocoder's match for the 32 Mile Rd / Powell Rd intersection named in the source; the four-parcel boundary is not confirmed.

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
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • 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.
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.
