Verrus is proposing Project Flex, a 1.8 million square foot data center in Lyon Township, Michigan, featuring six buildings and an on-site utility substation. Developer Jeff Bladen claims it will be more efficient and environmentally friendly, using less water and avoiding diesel generators.

Local opposition is evident, with concerns about resource impact. The project is expected to create thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of permanent positions. A public meeting is scheduled for January 27 for residents to engage with developers.
