Massive Google data center faces decision day in Michigan’s Van Buren Township

In an October 13 interview published ahead of the planning commission’s scheduled October 14 vote, WDET asks Van Buren Township Supervisor Kevin McNamara about Google’s proposed data center. McNamara describes negotiations over water-rate protections, backup generators, noise controls and tax incentives, while defending the township’s approach amid resident opposition. His zoning and project-benefit claims remain attributed to him; this interview does not establish the outcome of the site-plan vote.[1]
