(Saline Township, MI)  — Ground has been broken on a new multibillion-dollar data center in Saline Township known as “The Barn.”  The data center is backed by Oracle, OpenAI, and Related Digital, and Related Companies CEO Jeff Blau says it’s a big deal.

Officials say the campus will create thousands of union construction jobs, use technology to minimize its impact on water resources in the area, and will contribute around eight-million-dollars a year to schools in Michigan.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the new data center that will be built in Saline Township has huge potential.
