Why Michigan?

Cooler climate: Reduces cooling costs (data centers generate enormous heat).

Abundant land: Cheaper and more available than in saturated markets like Northern Virginia or Texas.

Water: Access to Great Lakes water for cooling.

Power infrastructure: Utilities like DTE are courting these projects, and there's relatively competitive electricity pricing in the region.

Strategic Location: Good access to Midwest and Canadian markets, major highways, and talent (e.g., proximity to University of Michigan).
