Green Township
Strongly Anti-Data Center Policies
Green Township has enacted an ordinance prohibiting data centers and related uses in every zoning district; its accompanying description nevertheless phrases the ban as conditional on enactment.

What this means
If enacted, this would define data centers broadly and prohibit them, along with related uses, in every zoning district in Green Township (“prohibited in all zoning districts”). That amounts to an outright ban on building data centers within the township, with no exception stated in the measure.
