What happened
LEAP announced plans to explore a data center development on a 423-acre site in Delhi Charter Township. The proposed project involves a 700-megawatt facility and is estimated to bring an investment of about $10 billion. Following the announcement, the Delhi Township Board of Trustees dropped its membership with LEAP.

Why it matters
The project, which could generate about $53 million in annual revenue, faces local opposition from the Delhi Township Board of Trustees. Governor Gretchen Whitmer stated that any state investment must meet high standards and protect ratepayers.
