Michigan expanded data center tax breaks. Here’s what they actually cover$

Michigan expanded its sales and use tax exemptions for data centers through new 2024 legislation, extending existing breaks until 2050 and introducing an "enterprise data center" category for larger investments. These expanded incentives require significant capital investment, job creation, and specific environmental and clean energy commitments to qualify. The legislation aims to make Michigan more competitive for major data center development.

GenH is exploring a concept to build small computing facilities, described as digital service centers, powered by hydroelectricity at existing dams, including the Morley Dam in Michigan. The company held a public meeting in Morley to gauge community interest, where residents raised concerns about environmental impacts, noise, and water use. GenH emphasized its model's smaller scale and independent power supply, which differentiates it from larger data centers.
