Lyon Township residents protest massive data center; officials allay fears

A 1.8 million square foot data center project called "Project Flex" was quietly approved by the Lyon Township Planning Commissioners in September. This has caused concern among local residents who worry about noise pollution, effects on private wells, and potential decreases in property values. Township officials state the project is a permitted use for the industrially zoned land, and they are planning an informational meeting to provide more details to residents.
