Proposed hyperscale data center at the GM/JATCO site
Description
A proposed 8-to-11-building hyperscale data center at the former GM/JATCO site is the driver behind the citizen petition and referendum ordinance; no approval was voted Monday, but the council set a public hearing and workshops on the project's impacts.
Impact summary
The project could reshape the south side with major energy, water, and tax implications — and only around 600 jobs versus the 4,000 the GM plant once employed, according to speakers.
