SALINE TWP., MI \u2014 Despite local officials\u2019 opposition, a controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community in southeast Washtenaw County is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm<\/a> working for an unidentified tech giant.<\/p>\n

The Saline Township Board of Trustees voted 4-1 Wednesday, Oct. 1, to pursue a settlement with Dallas-based development firm Related Digital and three sets of landowners. Their vote authorizes a consent judgment that would allow the data center to move forward on a series of conditions. <\/p>\n
