Van Buren Township approves Google Project Cannoli final site plan
What changed
Van Buren Township's Planning Commission voted 5-1 on October 14 to approve the final site plan and switching-station plan for the proposed Google Project Cannoli campus. The local site-plan approval is a material entitlement milestone; it does not itself establish that all remaining permits are complete or that the campus is operating.

Why it matters
The decision moves a roughly 1-GW proposed Michigan campus beyond the local final-site-plan gate, while construction timing, environmental compliance, and utility implementation remain separate questions.
