Proposed for a 180-acre site in Lyon Township, Michigan, Project Flex is a massive data center campus spearheaded by developer Verrus. The master plan for the Milford Road location features six buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet and an on-site utility substation. While the project received conditional site plan approval last year, it currently faces hurdles regarding pending energy audits, sound studies, and significant local pushback.
Community opposition has surged, with residents raising alarms over potential hikes in utility rates and shifts in the township's rural character—culminating in calls for a development moratorium. As Lyon Township weighs these environmental and infrastructure concerns, the fate of this Detroit-area hub remains tied to further regulatory reviews and the resolution of public outcry.
