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. Many, like other residents facing the developments across the country and in Michigan, have contested the proposal. One after one for more than an hour, speakers challenged the legality of the township's approval process while raising broader concerns about the project's effect on farmland, water supplies, electricity costs, traffic and noise. Yousef Rabhi, a Washtenaw County commissioner and former state representative who recently was elected Ann Arbor's next mayor, was among the

Allen Park extends its data center moratorium

Allen Park is extending its moratorium on data center development, citing the need for more time to develop local legislation to regulate the controversial centers. The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to extend its moratorium by six months. This move effectively doubles the city's current six-month data center moratorium, which was passed on June 9. Before the vote, Councilman Dan Loyd said the city's planning commission is currently considering how strict to make the local legislation that would regulate data centers. Communities can regulate data centers through their zoning ordinances. “One of the things that is going to go into this conversation is, as in any time you do legislation, is where do you draw the line? Where do you say, ‘This is not good for our community,’ and ‘This is good for our community?’ These are not easy conversations, and this is where we’re at," said Loyd. Communities across Metro Detroit have scrambled to put data center moratoriums in place to give them time to adjust their zoning ordinances to regulate where these facilities can and can't go . With some of those moratoriums set to expire, several communities are now extending their moratoriums. Rochester Hills
