Detroit is not a rural township or a suburban county. The fights happening in places like Saline and Washtenaw County are real, but Detroit’s context is distinct. We are a majority Black city with a documented history of industrial pollution concentrated in our neighborhoods. We’re surrounded by the Great Lakes. We have lived through water crises, utility shutoffs, and decades of environmental harm that other communities have not. Any policy framework for data centers in Detroit must start from that reality, not borrow from fights in communities with different histories, different demographics, and different stakes. Join the call for a Task Force, not another Working Group!
