Lansing-area data center plan dead two weeks after it was announced

LANSING — Less than two weeks after unveiling a data center community engagement proces s officials hoped would flip the script on the hotly contested developments, the project is dead. The announcement of a possible data center in Delhi Township and Holt, on the south side of Lansing, by a local economic development agency was met with immediate opposition. The township ended its partnership with the economic development group the next day and had unanimously approved a resolution opposing the data center within three days of the announcement. On Monday, Nov. 9, the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) said the deal is no more. Lighthouse Sustainability, the pre-development firm that intended to work with the community to address concerns about the $10 billion data center, withdrew its interest in the site. LEAP will now look to other "non-data center opportunities" for the site, said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “While we are disappointed that a public dialogue was not truly allowed to begin, we thank the Delhi Township community and Lighthouse Sustainability for their participation and feedback, though brief,” Trezise said in a statement. The project in Delhi Township was announced Oct. 27, six months into a one-year

Michigan, MSU fans donate 237 gallons of urine at 'Piss Off' for fertilizer research

For Michigan State University alumnus Trevor Peterson, the name alone was enough to sell him on the idea. Peterson and his friends waited in line for the "Piss Off," a research competition he learned aboutthrough social media. The name came up in the friends' group chat, and they instantly knew participation was mandatory while tailgating in Ann Arbor. "It's a little bit about the competition, but also at the same time, the competition is the fun part," Peterson said. "I'm also happy to provide research for the soil and fertilizer." However funny and gimmicky the promotion sounds, it worked. The researchers received exactly what they wanted: as much urine as they could get to turn into nutrient-rich fertilizer. The competition, organized by researchers at the University of Michigan and MSU, was designed for a process referred to as pee-cycling. Researchers at both universities are interested in extracting nutrients from human urine to eventually use it as a natural, nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer will be used at U-M's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. In total, the "Piss Off" movement accumulated more than 237 gallons of urine. U-M fans won the competition by a

Horsepeople of the Year: Paula Hitzler

I strongly believe that each incredible horseperson had a strong educator to guide them into the path of the equestrian world. Paula Hitlzer is one of those individuals. For over 36 years, Paula shaped, mentored, coached, educated and shared her passion for horses at Michigan State University (MSU) in the Horse Teaching and Research Center and animal science department. This past May, she retired from her position—but not without changing the lives of over 1,500 students, hundreds of equines, faculty, parents and equine professionals.

Pat Fitzgerald takes to East Lansing bars for fan recruitment

While grabbing a bite to eat at Beggars Banquet, a group of Michigan State students noticed a familiar face walking outside. Head football coach Pat Fitzgerald. They waved at him through the window, and to their surprise, he didn't just brush past the interaction and keep moving along. "He walked in, talked to us for 10 minutes. Very stand-up guy," finance senior Karol Nowak said. "He cares about the students, cares about the people of East Lansing, and he's my GOAT." For Nowak, the interaction was another example of Fitzgerald making an effort to connect with the Michigan State community beyond the football field. Since arriving in East Lansing, Fitzgerald has made it a priority to rebuild the energy surrounding MSU football and strengthen his connection with the Spartan community. Looking ahead to Saturday's game against Washington, Fitzgerald encouraged students to bring that same energy to the stands while visiting East Lansing bars alongside Athletic Director Dan Bartholomae. "Let's get this sh- rocking Saturday," Fitzgerald said to the students at FieldHouse. In an effort to recruit students to the game, Fitzgerald and Bartholomae made appearances inside Harper's Restaurant & Brew Pub, Rick's American Cafe, Los Tres Mex Grill and FieldHouse,

Well-rounded, efficient scoring attack leads MSU to 41-point victory

Graduate guard Theryn Hallock sprinted out on the fast break three possessions in a row, and junior guard Kennedy Blair threw the ball ahead to her right in stride every time. All three passes turned into points at the other end, and the third attempt ended in an and-1, leaving Hallock scowling at the defender on her hip. After missing all but seven games of the 2025 season with a foot injury, Hallock craved an 18-point night on near-perfect efficiency from the field. It was the first time she looked like her former self, bringing back her fervor and fierceness. " I had surgery over the summer, so it was like, am I gonna get my groove back? And I think this game really let me branch out and get that ," Hallock said. " I gave that guard a little look because I want to show them that I'm the physical Theryn Hallock back out there ." Hallock's revival waswelcome, and 11 Spartans helped secure the 91-50 win over in-state Oakland. Five players reached double figures, and Michigan State women's basketball's diverse scoring approach proved to be incredibly efficient, scoring on 58.3% of possessions.
