Waterville Township Data Center Project

planned

Waterville Township trustees are considering a possible data center project on 1,000 acres off Black Road near Fallen Timbers. The project is currently only a design concept and did not originate with the trustees. The township has proposed a text amendment to the zoning code to control data center development, despite opposition from the county planning commission which suggested pursuing an industrial overlay instead. The amendment aims to give the township significant control over any proposed data center to ensure alignment with community values.
