# Event Details - **Event Name**: Howell Township Board Meeting - STOP the Rezoning for the Data Center on December 8 - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 08 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Event Description**: UPDATE - APPLICATION WITHDRAWN, MEETING STILL CRITICAL The developer has officially withdrawn their rezoning application for the proposed data center in Howell Township. However, this is NOT the end of the story. • The landowner and co-applicants have publicly stated they are “honoring the current moratorium” so the Township can work on new regulations for future data centers. • Howell Township has confirmed that tonight’s meeting is still happening and that they will still be discussing the text amendment and the definition of “data processing,” and will still allow public comment. In other words: this is a tactical withdrawal, not a final decision. They are pausing while the rules are being rewritten. That makes tonight’s meeting even more important. We are asking residents to: • Show up in person • Urge the Board to VOTE NO on the data center text amendment • Reaffirm that this community expects our water, farmland, rural character, and Master Plan to be protected This process is complex and often framed to benefit corporations, not residents. Staying engaged, informed, and visible is our best defense. We’re not backing down. Please join us tonight. This is the vote that will define the future of Howell Township and Livingston County in Michigan. Rod Bushey Center: 1200 W. Grand River Ave. Howell, MI 48843 on Monday, December 8, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. On December 8, the Howell Township Board will vote on whether to rezone 1,007 rural acres from Agricultural Residential (AR) to Research & Technology (RT) to allow a massive hyperscale data center campus. This is our chance to show up, speak up, and ensure our elected officials hear the people they serve, NOT developers, utilities, or corporate attorneys. We need EVERY SEAT filled and a crowd spilling out the doors. This rezoning would permanently change Howell Township's character, traffic, water use, and environment. The moratorium does not protect us. It does NOT apply to this project. If the Board votes NO, the project is stopped. If the Board votes YES, we launch a referendum and overturn it, but only if our community is organized and united. Attend in person ✔ Wear red to show united opposition ✔ Speak during public comment ✔ Bring neighbors, family, and friends ✔ Stay until the vote This is the moment we have been preparing for. Our presence matters. Our voice matters.
