❤️ this for my community!

Dear Residents,

To continue lines of communication and transparency, as of last night I was informed that Prologis has notified our Planning and Zoning Department Director Dana Berschback verbally that they are no longer under contract with the property owners along 32 MIle Road bewtweeen M-53 and Powell Road.

The proposed project included the possible purchase of property owned by the Meiers, Blakes, and Karam families for the development of a data center. However, Prologis has indicated that DTE Energy has informed them it will not be able to provide the necessary power capacity to support such a facility within the timeframe they were anticipating.

This news will undoubtedly come as a relief to many residents who have expressed concerns and remained actively engaged and vigilant throughout this process.

As many of you may recall, Prologis first approached Washington Township in 2024 regarding a potential Stellantis warehouse project. Stellantis ultimately relocated that project to Van Buren Township. Since that time, Prologis has explored several potential uses for these properties and remained in communication with the landowners regarding a possible acquisition, but never purchased.

Prologis previously presented a rezoning proposal at the December 11, 2025 Planning Commission meeting. That proposal was later placed on hold, and the rezoning application was officially withdrawn on May 19, 2026.

Following the withdrawal of the application, I was proud to make the motion on May 20, 2026 to establish a 6-month moratorium to allow our Planning Commission, consultants, engineers, acoustical expert, fire professionals, and environmental specialist the opportunity to thoroughly review our ordinances and ensure Washington Township is properly protected from incompatible future development proposals.

I am equally proud to report that this important work continues. Although this particular proposal appears to have been removed from consideration for the time being, our Planning Commission and consultants will remain actively engaged in developing strong, enforceable, and legally defensible ordinances addressing not only just data centers but also large scale indutrial uses.

Our next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m. I encourage all residents to attend, stay informed, and hear firsthand the progress being made on these proposed ordinances.

I am proud to have board approval that we have engaged a reputable acoustic engineer, water engineer, fire and safety engineer, and we are now in the process of reviewing an environmental engineer to help complete and solidify this ordinance with our legal and planning consultants..

This has been a long several months for our Planning Commissioners, Board members, consultants, and Township staff. I would like to sincerely thank each of them for their dedication, professionalism, and perseverance throughout this process. I also want to thank our residents for their patience, engagement, and advocacy.

We must remain focused and continue the important work of protecting the future of Washington Township as technology continues to evolve.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you & God Bless You All!

Big news for the Romeo, Bruce, & Washington area!!

Dear Residents,

I want to inform you that the rezoning application related to the proposed 32 Mile Technical Campus has been withdrawn by the applicant at this time and will be removed from the Planning Commission agenda scheduled for Thursday, June 11, 2026.

As the Official Spokesperson for Washington Township, I would also like to clarify misinformation contained in an earlier public statement released by Clerk Audrey Brown regarding this matter. The Township was notified this morning that the rezoning request alone has been withdrawn/postponed by the applicant. At this time, no formal application for a data center has been submitted to Washington Township.

I have been in constant communication with Township legal counsel since this rezoning request was first received, and legal counsel will be present at the May 20, 2026 Board of Trustees meeting.

I appreciate the many residents who have remained engaged, respectful, and involved throughout this process. Washington Township is strongest when residents participate, ask questions, and stay informed. My commitment remains ensuring transparency, protecting our community’s interests, and working together toward responsible planning decisions for the future of our Township.

Please feel free to email me your comments or questions at [email protected] or contact my cell phone directly at (586) 651-2656.

Thank you for your continued engagement and participation in our community.
