On October 1, 2026, the Michigan Public Service Commission conditionally approved the DTE–Google utility contract, and Wayne County overrode the Project Cannoli incentives veto. Utility and incentive decisions are distinct from final site-plan approval and do not authorize or demonstrate campus construction or opening. Panattoni’s Project Cannoli is a proposed three-data center campus on roughly 282 acres in Van Buren Township, Michigan. The township granted preliminary site-plan approval with conditions in February 2026; the design includes support buildings, a substation, preserved open space and water and noise controls.
