Groveland Township created a Residents Advisory Committee to assess impacts of data centers and recommend zoning ordinances before a moratorium expires in February 2027. The committee delivered a detailed impact study suggesting evidence-based zoning rules focused on water protection, health, safety, and legal defensibility.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Local data center developers must navigate new zoning and environmental rules before the moratorium lifts in February 2027. You need to prepare for stricter water and safety compliance and possibly higher upfront study costs.
