Notes on the record

Three-building complex, each building stated at more than 200,000 sq ft for a total of more than 519,000 sq ft, on vacant light-industrial land. Status is 'proposed' and remains blocked by the municipal moratorium, no site-plan or rezoning approval is recorded. Capacity: NO megawatt figure is stated in either source; capacityMw is therefore omitted rather than inferred from square footage. Water use is not quantified in the sources. Investment figure not stated. The source notes the site sits near a DTE Energy transmission line with natural gas service available, but no interconnection or generation arrangement is described, so energy is left unset. Coordinates from the US Census geocoder for the street address named in the source; parcel boundary 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.

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.
