Washington Twp. data center zoning request postponed yet again, here’s why

A rezoning request for a proposed data center in Washington Township, Michigan has been postponed again, as the township is moving to amend its zoning ordinances related to data centers and other large-scale industrial uses. The planning commission is reviewing the zoning ordinances to potentially place reasonable restrictions on the location and manner of these types of facilities, as the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act prohibits completely prohibiting certain land uses.
