Recall effort targets trustees amid data center fight in Lyon Township

Residents in Lyon Township, Michigan, have launched a recall effort against all seven members of the Township Board of Trustees. This action stems from widespread opposition to a proposed 1.8 million sq ft hyperscale data center, Project Flex, which was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission despite resident concerns. While the recall petitions formally cite salary raises, organizers admit the underlying motivation is the board's handling of the data center project.
