UM computing facility site needs archaeological review for remains, state says
An "archaeological assessment" should be conducted at the site chosen for the planned University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory "high performance computing facility" in case Indigenous remains or artifacts are buried on the land, the State Historic Preservation Office said. Rob Green, the site's project director, emailed the State Historic Preservation Office on Sept. 16, a month after the university announced the facility would be built on the 144 acres owned by the university between Textile and Bridge roads in Ypsilanti Township. In his email, he said the university had received some comments from community members who claimed there might be "native american burial grounds" on the property.
