AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Data Centers & Water Use: A Michigan company behind a proposed $4.5B data center campus in Strasburg says it will generate its own power and use little water, but residents packed a gym to grill officials on long-term impacts. Energy Costs & Regulation: A new Michigan report from the Citizens Research Council urges regulators to weigh data center proposals case-by-case, flagging concerns like noise pollution while noting EGLE reviews water withdrawals. Public Health: MDHHS warned families to stop using recalled “Orb Funkee” squeeze toys from Walmart/Ollie’s due to possible asbestos in the sand, with disposal steps for intact vs. damaged toys. Great Lakes & Invasives: Researchers confirmed invasive bloody red shrimp are now established in Lake Superior, with ongoing sampling at Duluth-Superior Harbor sites. Water Affordability: Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Debbie Dingell push a bill to create a permanent EPA low-income water assistance program that would ban shut-offs as punishment for nonpayment. Local Environment Education: Ishpeming celebrated a new school greenhouse at PCF Middle School Garden to expand hands-on agriculture learning for students. Community Safety: Detroit City Council approved an 8 p.m. curfew for minors during the Ford Fireworks show, moving it earlier to reduce chaos and violence.
