University of Michigan Regent Paul Brown says he opposes the decision to place the proposed Los Alamos computer facility at the Textile Road location in Ypsilanti Township.
Brown says he doesn’t want to see the project built on the banks of the Huron River and without support of the community. He says the University Administration hasn’t adequately engaged with local officials and the public.
Brown says the project shouldn’t move forward until that happens.
“It’s required they need to go and sit in the living rooms of the people in that neighborhood and answer every one of their questions until they feel adequately informed and supportive. And if they aren’t supportive, then they need to look for another spot.”
U-M announced on Tuesday it has selected Textile Road for the project, saying the proposed Willow Run location was impractical due to environmental concerns.
A community town hall is scheduled for September 9th at the Eagle Crest Marriott.
