Residents of Lyon Township are reacting to the proposed 'Project Flex' data center on 172 acres in South Hill Business Park West, which is projected to require five times the township's total household power demand. Some community members are advocating for a moratorium to assess the project's impact.

Proponents argue that the project would position the region as a technology hub, leveraging the I-96/Grand River corridor. The site is zoned industrial, and since the companies involved are not seeking zoning changes, no public hearings were necessary. Lyon Township Supervisor John Dolan acknowledged the community's concerns and announced an informational meeting scheduled for January 22 at South Lyon East High School.
