As Governor, I will put a moratorium on data centers. No data centers will be built in Michigan unless there are rules in place that make them negotiate with communities in the open, ban them from getting tax breaks and using up our water, and require them to pay for their power.4

Abdul El-Sayed (D) · U.S. Senator-elect
2026 U.S. Senate MI: won by Abdul El-Sayed (D), AP call2, not yet certified · official count
Paraphrase: Supports state and local moratoriums on new data centers until protections on utility costs, water and community benefits are in place.5
Unless and until a community has its own oversight, at this point, no more data centers. We need action at the federal level.6
Saline press conference, El-Sayed campaign transcript, Jul 30, 2026
If a state government is saying, “How do we act here?” I think a moratorium makes sense.6

Questions

How many data centers are in this county?

This page lists every data center campus we track in the county: operating, under construction, permitted and announced. Figures are listed site by site and never added up across claim types. Source

What trades build data centers?

Electricians lead, then pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, ironworkers, equipment operators, laborers and controls technicians. Apprenticeships through union halls and state programs are the main way in. Source

How do I find a data center job near me?

Open any site page and use Find jobs here or use our national jobs page to filter by state and trade. Source

Every figure links to a public source. A blank means we have not linked a source yet, not zero. Sources and methods
