Dingell urges pause on U-M Ypsilanti data center

U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell has called for a pause on the University of Michigan’s planned $1.25‑billion high‑performance computing facility in Ypsilanti Township, according to The Detroit News.

In a letter to township officials and the university’s president, Dingell cited a lack of transparency, unclear jurisdictional authority, and unanswered questions about the college and research lab’s agreement. Residents voiced strong opposition at a recent town hall.
