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.
