Springfield Township, Michigan, has enacted a 180-day moratorium on data center proposals to review zoning regulations and standards after a consultant indicated the township is unprepared for their impact. The Township Board of Trustees plans to amend its zoning ordinance and engage with property owners to ensure future developments align with the community's values on safety and sustainability. This decision comes amid discussions with a developer interested in an 84-acre site for a potential data center project.
