While two major hyperscale projects (The Barn and Project Cannoli) have progressed past local approvals into construction or regulatory finalization, numerous unresolved gaps persist across Michigan's broader data center landscape. At least 19 local municipalities have enacted temporary moratoria or pauses on data center developments amid community pushback over noise, land use, and energy demands. Furthermore, approximately 18 additional proposed sites remain in early planning or conceptual stages without finalized power purchase agreements, municipal zoning sign-offs, or environmental permits. Regulatory reviews by the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) regarding utility power contracts and transmission grid upgrades for upcoming non-Stargate facilities remain pending.
