No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Sep 9, 2026) and Server Country (Sep 24, 2026) report it as proposed. ### Who is building Project Flex? Verrus (Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners) is the operator. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does. ### Which carriers serve Project Flex? No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does. ### How do contractors on Project Flex get paid sooner? The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer. ## Latest updates - **Jan 22, 2026:** [Reported as announced](https://servercountry.org/data/projects/) ## Related records - [Alterra Marshall Technology & Energy Center](https://kapwork.com/grow/directory/datacenters/alterra-marshall-technology-energy-center-mi-dc_28289b256346): Same state - [Buick City Data Center](https://kapwork.com/grow/directory/datacenters/buick-city-data-center-mi-dc_b3eddcdaf553): Same state - [GenH Morley Dam Data Services Facility](https://kapwork.com/grow/directory/datacenters/genh-morley-dam-data-services-facility-mi-dc_dc781ac47bfe): Same state - [Gibraltar Data Center (former McLouth Steel site)](https://kapwork.com/grow/directory/datacenters/gibraltar-data-center-former-mclouth-steel-site-mi-dc_8d82d876e55a): Same state - [Hyperscale Data Michigan Campus](https://kapwork.com/grow/directory/datacenters/hyperscale-data-michigan-campus-mi-dc_b8a83504a571): Same state ## What this record does not show - This record is the Kapwork Grow tracker's merged view of a facility, from the tracker snapshot built 2026-11-02.
