Thor Equities: Milan, Michigan

Lot Size: 522 acres

A $1 billion data center is proposed for over 800 acres in Augusta Township, Michigan, near Milan, by Thor Equities. Despite the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial, the Augusta Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved the rezoning of the 522 acres (from Agricultural/Residential to General Industrial) in July 2025. This decision allowed the project to proceed to the next phase.

Residents strongly oppose the project, citing concerns over massive water and energy consumption, noise, light pollution, and the loss of rural character. A local resident group, Protect Augusta Charter Township (PACT), launched a petition drive to challenge the Board's rezoning decision and put the issue to a voter referendum.

Officials and proponents support it for the substantial economic benefits, including $1 billion investment, up to 1,500 construction jobs, and increased tax revenue for public services.
