New owners of Dowagiac data center plan AI expansions

Developer Ault Alliance, of Las Vegas, has targeted a former Sentium Bitcoin mining complex in Dowagiac for expansion into a “pureplay” hyperscale AI data center. Because this is an expansion of an existing facility, fighting this development will be significantly more difficult.

Project details:

Size: 34+ acres
Subsidies: CHIPS Act, Michigan Data Center tax breaks
Water: ~1-5 million gallons of water per day
Energy: 100+ megawatts per day (equivalent to a small city)
Neighborhood: residential & commercial
Status: active
Call to action: tell legislators NO MORE SUBSIDIES and red tape cutting for AI data centers
