Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

Site north of Milan-Oakville Road, east of Hitchingham Road, Augusta Township, Washtenaw County MI (between Ann Arbor and Monroe). No end user announced; planners cited Google and Microsoft as typical users of this facility type. Form8tion is Thor's digital infrastructure arm (founded March 2023). Capacity not disclosed; at least five large buildings planned. Coordinates are approximate Augusta Township centroid. Augusta Township voters overturned the 522-acre rezoning on 2026-08-04 (about 90% to overturn), so the parcels revert to agricultural residential. Recorded as cancelled because the project's enabling rezoning is gone; Thor Equities has not publicly withdrawn, and the results were unofficial as of 2026-08-05. The cancelled status dated 2026-08-04 corresponds to the Aug. 4 veto referendum on the 522-acre rezoning, and as of September 2026 nothing found indicates a revival, appeal or re-rezoning since. As of October 2026, no cited source gives certified vote totals, so the date and mechanism are confirmed but not the tally.
