Michigan's Data Center Future: Bringing Facts and a Framework to the Conversation – A Special Series

Jim kicks off a special series on one of the most talked-about – and often polarizing or misunderstood issues facing Michigan's future: data centers. As demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, so do questions about energy, water, land use, economic opportunity and community impacts. Over the next several episodes, we'll explore what's driving this growth, what's at stake for Michigan and what responsible development could look like moving forward. We begin the series with the authors of a new independent analysis conducted by Public Sector Consultants for the Michigan Chamber Foundation, Detroit Regional Chamber and Business Leaders for Michigan. Joining Jim are Maggie Pallone and Jeff Guilfoyle, who led the research effort!
