Summary

On 1 October 2026 Wayne County published its commission's override of the County Executive's veto of tax incentives and a community benefits agreement for the proposed Google data center in Van Buren Township known as Project Cannoli, a step required for the project to qualify as an enterprise data center for state sales and use tax exemptions. The county states that the vote did not approve construction and that the township Planning Commission was still to review the final site plan on 14 October. No development consent, site work or construction is asserted. evidence

Planning consultant review of case VBT-25-041 for the township Planning Commission (letter dated 1 February 2026; page headers 3 February 2026; plans updated 30 January 2026). Panattoni Development Company proposes four buildings with a total footprint of 816,000 sq ft on numerous parcels totalling 282.2 acres owned by Triple Creek Associates LLC, bounded by I-275 and Wayne County Community College (north), Haggerty Road (west), the I-94 North Service Drive (south) and Hannan Road (east); the review then tabulates data processing Buildings 1-3, an office building and a network service building. Data processing centres are principal permitted uses in the M-1 district; a future DTE substation at the southwest corner needs its own site plan approval. evidence

Google says it is partnering with DTE Energy to develop a new data center in Michigan, with 2.7 GW of new grid resources under a Clean Capacity Acceleration Agreement, and that it 'is currently evaluating a site in Van Buren Township'. Context for Google's identity as the intended data-centre operator; outside the status window. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 42.22584, -83.43517
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_union_centroid

Source entity: Campus
Method: wayne_county_gis_parcel_shapefile_union_of_38_listed_tax_parcels_area_centroid_computed_in_nad83harn_michigan_south_returned_to_wgs84
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Area centroid of the union of the 38 Wayne County tax parcels listed for the Project Cannoli property in the May 2026 development agreement (281.8 acres against 282.2 stated; about 1.7 by 1.1 km between Haggerty Road and Hannan Road, south of I-275 and north of the I-94 service drive). It locates the proposed campus property, not a building, the separate DTE/ITC substation site or an approved site-plan boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The county parcel layer is a 2012-vintage shapefile with no published positional accuracy, four parcels are included only in part, and the centroid represents a 282-acre property about 1.7 by 1.1 km across, so the buildings may lie several hundred metres from the point.
Geometry evidence: 60ba0689

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.
