Saline Township sticks with Oracle tax break for data center amid protest

SALINE TOWNSHIP — Saline Township trustees reaffirmed a 12-year tax break for Oracle's planned $43.1 billion AI data center Nov. 11, following more than an hour of criticism from residents and local officials who questioned the project's approval process and warned of its impact on communities across Washtenaw County. The board also moved to ratify creation of the Industrial Development District where the facility is being built, after an attorney challenged the legality of the township's original approval process. "It's disappointing. It does seem like something shady is happening," said Courtney Brady of Ypsilanti Township after the meeting. Residents of Saline Township and other Washtenaw County communities packed into the rural Township Hall, which had a full parking lot and few seats left available amid the sizable turnout.

Yousef Rabhi, a Washtenaw County commissioner and former state representative who recently was elected Ann Arbor's next mayor, was among the

Hillsdale grad builds ultra-fast computer mapping library

Hillsdale College graduate Isaac Myhal recently developed a computer mapping library that he found outperformed several established tools during testing with C++. The project grew out of the alum's senior thesis in computer science, according to a community announcement. In the wake of his creation, he's made the library available for public use . A mapping system allows computers to use one piece of information to retrieve another, such as looking up a word to find a definition or a name to find an address. All computers rely on mapping for tasks ranging from loading web pages to supporting programming languages. Myhal built the library using features available in the programming language C++. More: Hillsdale College will establish new program for Corps of Cadets “The work (Myhal) and his advisor Dr. Oliver Serang did here ranks among the most impressive research projects students have done in our department,” wrote Associate Professor of Computer Science John Seiffertt. — Contact reporter Evan Sasiela at esasiela@usatodayco.com .
