Stronach board adopts moratorium on proposed data center
Summary
The Township of Stronach board voted unanimously June 10 to adopt a moratorium on a proposed data center after planners said no permits had been filed and a prior special-use industrial permit had lapsed, reverting the parcel to forest-residential zoning.
The Township of Stronach board voted unanimously June 10 to adopt a moratorium on activity tied to a proposed data center on a parcel that planners said reverted to forest-residential when an unused special‑use industrial permit lapsed.
Planning committee members told the board that no permits have been submitted for a data center and that the parcel’s zoning status changed after the original special‑use permit expired. "There has been no permits submitted for a data center," minutes state. Mr. Lindeman moved to adopt the moratorium and Mr. Skiera seconded; the roll-call vote was Lindeman—yes, Skiera—yes, Zoscsak—yes, Gerber—yes, Vadeboncoeur—yes, and the motion carried.
Board members said the moratorium is intended to preserve time for review while the township clarifies zoning and planning implications. Public commenters raised concerns about the proposal during the meeting’s public-comment period. The moratorium’s text, duration and any specific regulatory restrictions were not included in the minutes and are listed as "to be specified" pending publication of the ordinance or resolution implementing the moratorium.
Next steps include drafting and posting the moratorium language and coordinating any public notices required by township procedure.
