Project Flex Data Center Campus (Lyon Township, Ambassador Parkway West and Milford Road)
Announced
United States · 1 project · Last reported
Summary
Lyon Township's official Project Flex Data Center page records on 5 October 2026 an update of the 'Project Flex Data Center Application and Review Documents' ('Updated 10/05/2026') and states that 'additional site plan reviews and submittals are underway'; its document centre lists the Project Flex Development Map, Oakland County's Project Flex tax analysis and dated reviews of the first, second and third final site plan submittals. This dated government record identifies Project Flex as an active data-centre development application in Lyon Township on 5 October 2026, so the project is announced. The Planning Commission's conditional site-plan approval of 8 September 2025 is not treated as consent in effect: the Township says a building permit cannot be issued until its conditions are met, final site-plan review was still continuing, and a township moratorium on approvals and permits for data processing centres was in force. No permit, site work or construction is asserted. evidence

- Area centroid of the union of the four Oakland County tax parcels that Oakland County Equalization's Project Flex tax analysis lists for the project (PINs 21-10-101-002, -005, -006 and -007: 55040 Ambassador Pkwy W and 29300, 29022 and 28730 Milford Rd, Lyon Township); one contiguous polygon of 172.8 geodesic acres, about 990 by 840 m, matching the 172 acres on the Township-posted development map. It locates the project property, not any building, substation or final site-plan footprint.
- Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported
The county layer publishes no positional accuracy for parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 172.8-acre four-parcel project property (about 990 by 840 m), and the positions of the planned buildings within it are only shown on an unscaled development map.
- Geometry evidence

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
