Establishes data center overlay districts for zoning and growth management in Michigan.
The Michigan data center overlay districts act allows local governments to establish zoning districts specifically for data centers. These districts can include areas for data storage, processing, or digital operations. Local governments must consider local impacts such as energy capacity, water usage, and traffic before establishing these districts. The act also mandates public meetings and consultations with relevant stakeholders. Ordinances can impose additional conditions or requirements on data centers to address local impacts.
