Verrus quietly inks agreement with Township; residents find out three months later

Local residents became aware in December of a 172 acre AI data center which was approved by Township officials in September. The site plan for Verrus, the developer, was approved by the Township on September 8th.


Verrus is being represented by the consulting firm Walbridge. Walbridge is a common denominator amongst many Michigan municipalities whose residents are battling an industrial megasite, utility energy project, or data center.

Project details:

  • Developer: Verrus
  • Size: unknown
  • Subsidies: CHIPS Act, Michigan Data Center tax breaks
  • Water: ~1-5 million gallons of water per day
  • Energy: ~100+ megawatts per day 
  • Neighborhood: residential & agricultural
  • Status: Township has approved site plan
  • Call to action: call for consulting firm Walbridge to be fired; explore recalling Township board members
