#111 The U-M Supercenter: What Would Earn Community Trust?

Dave Kelsey and H. Daniel Mujahid examine the University of Michigan’s proposed supercomputing facility in Ypsilanti Township, focusing on the October 1 town hall, Los Alamos’ role, the project’s financial structure, and community concerns about governance, transparency, and local impacts.

The hosts outline practical steps to rebuild trust: independent moderation, enforceable community commitments, clear financial and ownership disclosures, meaningful local participation, and regular public accountability so residents know who is responsible, what will change, and when.
