Whitmer is simply wrong on this one. The data centers are neither a benefit nor desired by local residents. That should be all that needs to be said. Two people/entities will benefit - the landowner receiving the windfall payment and DTE. The rest of us will pay a very heavy and undesired price for their gains.
Not all residents are against it. Private land sold by the owners will of course benefit them, it is supposed to. An entire community trying to dictate who they can sell their property to, for aesthetic reasons of a “farming community,” is ridiculous.
Here's the thing, Libby. Most of these land grabs require rezoning that conflicts with the Master Plan developed by elected officials and reflective of the wishes of others who have invested in and live in the community.
