“Voted Aye on the final adoption of Ordinance 2025-02, rezoning 522.2 acres from Agricultural Residential to General Industrial for a Thor Equities data center campus”

Augusta Charter Township's board voted 7-0 to give final adoption to Ordinance 2025-02, rezoning seven parcels totaling 522.2 acres from Agricultural Residential to General Industrial for a data center campus proposed by Thor Equities - reversing the Planning Commission's May recommendation to deny. Residents responded with a petition drive that qualified a veto referendum on the rezoning for the August 2026 township ballot. The roll call in the township's minutes names all seven board members voting aye, with none opposed and none absent. The minutes themselves record only the ordinance number and the vote; the acreage, zoning designations and developer are corroborated by outside reporting. Outcome: Passed 7-0 Recorded vote: Aye. Body: Augusta Charter Township Board of Trustees. Measure: Ordinance No. 2025-02.
