• New Buffalo Township board denies permit for storage yard linked to data center (wndu.com) — New Buffalo Township officials have shut down a storage yard on Kluver Road by unanimously denying a special land use permit for Phoenix Logistics, a site tied to the proposed Project Maize data center. Neighbors argued the operation was too industrial for their rural area, raising concerns about flooding, traffic, and noise, and the board's decision follows a broader pause on data center development.
