• Data center developer requests Mason utilities, promises $1B investment (fox47news.com) — A massive data center proposal in Mason is moving ahead, with the developer seeking city utilities for a township property and pledging at least a $1 billion investment that could significantly boost tax revenue and potentially lower millage rates. City officials say the company will follow prior performance standards on noise and water, but nearby residents remain strongly opposed and vow to keep fighting to “save Mason” as discussions continue. 
• Foster's 11th shutout advances Mason girls soccer to regional final (lansingstatejournal.com) — Mason’s girls soccer team is heading back to Ypsilanti Lincoln on June 4 for a regional final after a 2-0 semifinal win over Farmington Hills Mercy.
