Google data center in Van Buren Township would destroy 13 acres of wetlands

Michigan regulators are reviewing a wetland permit for Google's planned 1-gigawatt data center in Van Buren Township, which would destroy 13.55 acres of wetlands and impact streams. Environmental advocates and a Wayne County Conservation District board member are urging regulators to deny the permit due to environmental concerns and historic flooding in the area. The public comment period on the wetland permit is open until June 26.
