Description

Description

Thor Equities proposes to develop a large computer data center campus on about 810 acres in Augusta Township near Milan, Michigan. The project involves rezoning 522 acres from agricultural residential to general industrial use exclusively for the data center. The firm plans to develop about 20% of the cleared land and preserve surrounding forested areas. The data center would house computer infrastructure powering internet services and potentially serve major tech companies like Google and Amazon. The project includes extending water and sewer services to the site, requiring collaboration with the Ypsilanti Community Utility Authority, and is expected to use over 1 million gallons of water daily. The proposal has faced public opposition due to concerns about noise, light pollution, environmental impact, and tax revenue.
