Cassopolis, Michigan, is experiencing growing opposition to data center development. During a recent Penn Township planning board meeting held at the VFW post in Cassopolis, every resident in attendance voiced their disapproval of large-scale industrial projects in their community. The board considered a proposed moratorium that would temporarily stop new large industrial developments, specifically including data centers, from proceeding within the township. However, the board did not reach a decision at this meeting and plans to issue a formal recommendation on the moratorium at a future date.
