The University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory are planning a massive AI data centre in a small Michigan township, according to a 404 Media report published 11 September 2026. Residents say they were not consulted about the project. The article's headline describes the proposed facility as a nuclear AI data centre. At a town hall, citizens expressed anger over the lack of consultation. No project size, timeline, or cost figures are given.
What this means for you
Nothing to act on yet: no project size, timeline, or cost has been published, and the consultation process is unclear. If you track data centre siting, monitor whether the university or lab opens a formal public comment period.
