A proposed data center campus in Delhi Township, Michigan, aims for a capacity of 700 MW with an estimated investment of $10 billion. The project is planned for a 423-acre site in the Holt Economic Opportunity Park, a former gravel mining area. The initiative is led by the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) and Lighthouse Sustainability, with the former holding a purchase option and having received a $6.5 million state grant for site preparation.
The project is currently in its preliminary stages, with no formal construction application submitted and no confirmed client. Developers intend to adhere to a 12-month moratorium on new data center construction imposed by the township in April 2026. They plan to use this period for public consultations to address community concerns and provide project details.
Local authorities in Delhi Township, including administrator Tracy Miller, stated they were unaware of the project until it was announced in a press release. In response, the township council voted to withdraw from the LEAP organization. The council has also scheduled a special meeting to consider a resolution opposing the construction of data centers in the area and urging the developers to abandon the plan.
