• Wixom council considers early ending for data-center moratorium (mlive.com) — Wixom City Council is set to finalize strict new zoning rules for large data centers Tuesday night and may end its six-month moratorium early, directly affecting a proposed 600,000-square-foot project on South Wixom Road. The vote could also help resolve ongoing litigation with the project's developer and will shape how future data centers manage noise, water use, air quality, and neighborhood impacts.
