The Van Buren Township Planning Commission voted 5‑1 to approve the final site plan for Google’s Project Cannoli, a data center on a 282‑acre site between I‑94 and I‑275 a few miles west of Detroit Metro Airport. Officials with Van Buren Township and Wayne County agreed to a $125 million tax break for the project, and county officials overrode Wayne County Executive Warren Evans’s veto to approve the waiver. Google will contribute $15 million each to the county and the township.
Construction of the facility is being managed by industrial developer Panattoni, which says the build will generate $2 billion in contracts for Wayne County businesses and that the completed center will host between 50 and 200 on‑site employees.
