Economic leaders plan data centre development framework for Delhi Township
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 20:32 · Archive
Economic leaders are developing a framework for a potential 423-acre data centre in Delhi Township, Michigan.
Economic leaders in Michigan are pursuing plans for a potential data centre on a 423-acre site in Delhi Township near Holt. The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) and Lighthouse Sustainability announced the initiative on Tuesday, with officials saying the strategic plan 'will define what a data centre project should look like before an application is filed.'
LEAP and Lighthouse Sustainability are launching a framework 'intended to change how those larger projects work'. Officials said they will 'begin with the community, establish expectations and propose projects that can meet rigorous environmental standards and provide meaningful community investment'. No application has been filed for the site, known as the Holt Economic Opportunity Park, and no end user has been identified.
Delhi Township enacted a moratorium on data centre reviews in April. LEAP and Lighthouse said they will 'respect that moratorium and focus on a community engagement strategy for possible future development on the site'. The engagement process will give residents time to examine studies, question the project team and provide input before the Township is asked to consider any future development.
