Allen Park City Council Meeting - June 9, 2026

The Allen Park City Council held a meeting on June 9, 2026, where significant attention was given to the proposed data center project and related zoning and noise ordinance issues. Public comments reflected strong community opposition to the data center, citing concerns about noise, environmental impact, and proximity to residential areas. The council approved a six-month moratorium on data center construction to allow time for drafting new zoning ordinances with community input. Additionally, the council addressed procurement and budget matters, including approval of a $164,990 purchase of an Axon Taser system for the police department, reimbursement payments for water main replacement work, and the consolidation of parks millage funds for renovations. Road closures for local events and the annual Allen Park High School homecoming parade were also approved. The meeting included recognition of community members and veterans, and discussions about waste service contract issues with Priority Waste, with the city withholding payments due to service concerns.
