Walbridge

Today's feature in Crain's Detroit Business highlights how Project Flex is set to drive real, long-term growth for our community. This is a massive opportunity to fund vital public services, improve local schools and secure Michigan's place in the future digital and AI economy.   Importantly, Walbridge has spent years working in good faith with Lyon Township to advance drainage improvements that would address long-standing flooding concerns in the New Hudson area. We hope to be able to move forward with the drain cleanout work, which will benefit residents, businesses and public infrastructure across the township.   We appreciate everyone who is sharing their perspective and joining the conversation as we work together to build a stronger Oakland County.

Today's the day!   Walbridge President John Rakolta III (JR) takes the stage at the Mackinac Policy Conference this afternoon for a Google-sponsored panel: "Data Centers as Community Assets."   He'll be joined by Secretary Jennifer Granholm and a Google executive Liz Schwab for a conversation about what Michigan's data center boom really means — for workers, for communities, and for the long-term future of our state.   We couldn't be prouder to have Walbridge's voice in that room.   #MPC2026 #MackinacPolicy #MichiganBuilds #DataCenters #MichiganJobs
