Given the scale and long-term implications of this project, the local community deserves far more than a one-way briefing that leaves questions unanswered and creates even more questions. The community deserves real engagement, transparency, and accountability,” said Congresswoman Dingell.\n\nIn a statement following the University’s site-selection announcement, Congresswoman Dingell reiterated that the way the University has communicated with the community is unacceptable. For years, Congresswoman Dingell has joined residents and local leaders in raising serious concerns about this project and the lack of transparency from the University.\n\n“Key concerns include water use, such as how much water the facility will require, where it would come from, and what safeguards are in place to protect long-term regional supply. They also include energy demand and infrastructure strain, particularly how the data center will impact the electrical grid, who would bear the costs, and how it aligns with renewable energy commitments,” Congresswoman Dingell continued.\n\nIn her latest letter to University leadership, the congresswoman called on them to use the upcoming town hall as a true public town hall on its proposed data center — one that goes beyond a controlled presentation or pre-scripted information session and instead allows for genuine, two-way community dialogue.\n\nA copy of the letter can be found HERE and below:\n\nDear President Grasso:\n\nThis letter is regarding the University of Michigan’s announcement that it will hold a third public town hall on September 9, 2026, concerning the proposed data center in Ypsilanti Township.\n\nThe University must hold a true public town hall on its proposed data center — one that goes beyond a controlled presentation or pre-scripted information session and instead allows for genuine, two-way community dialogue. To date, the two events the University offered did not amount to a real town hall, and one was not even in the impacted community. Ypsilanti Township residents have not been given sufficient opportunity to ask direct questions, challenge assumptions, or receive clear, honest answers from decisionmakers in real time. Given the scale and long-term implications of this project, the local community deserves far more than a one-way briefing that leaves questions unanswered and creates even more questions. The community deserves real engagement, transparency, and accountability.\n\nIt is imperative that the University will use the September 9 event as an opportunity to meaningfully engage with the community and address the serious and unresolved questions surrounding this project.\n\nKey concerns include water use, such as how much water the facility will require, where it would come from, and what safeguards are in place to protect long-term regional supply. They also include energy demand and infrastructure strain, particularly how the data center will impact the electrical grid, who would bear the costs, and how it aligns with renewable energy commitments. The Ypsilanti Township community is also concerned that this facility may be involved in the production of nuclear weapons and the study of defense capabilities. These are foundational public-interest issues that require open scrutiny, not limited disclosure. Equally important are the broader environmental impacts, including land use changes, emissions, heat generation, and potential effects on local ecosystems.
