The US-23 and US-12 (Michigan Avenue) improvement project includes new travel lanes on US-12 (Michigan Avenue) in both directions beginning just west of the Pittsfield Township police station and extending across US-23 to Carpenter Road, plus redesigned intersections and a new right-turn lane from eastbound US-12 (Michigan Avenue) to southbound Platt Road.
At the US-23/US-12 (Michigan Avenue) interchange, new loop ramps are being added in the northwest and southeast quadrants to eliminate left-turn movements onto US-23. An auxiliary lane is being added in both directions on US-23 between I-94 and US-12 (Michigan Avenue), and the acceleration/de-acceleration lanes south of US-12 (Michigan Avenue) are being extended.
You can find information on the project attached below.

Sunny, with a high of 87 and low of 57 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
Seems it may be a good time for local townships and cities to band together, pool resources, and start lobbying Lansing for legislation to prevent this type of threat of lawsuit to continue to transform our landscape. As understood, this land was zoned in a fashion that would prohibit this data center.
This. Going forward, communities in Michigan will be especially susceptible because of our abundant fresh water. As farmers lose crops and federal support, there will also be a push from big tech to swoop in and buy up land. We're already seeing these fights against data centers in Howell, Ypsi, and further north.
Feel bad for the people around there. Wells will run dry and future problems that are unseen will occur. I am sorry for you nearby that we couldn’t have stopped this mess.
