Amid adoption of AI across industries including automotive manufacturing, agriculture and healthcare, Oracle is building out critical infrastructure, including data centers, to meet the demand. This includes partnering with communities such as Saline Township in Washtenaw County to develop The Barn, in partnership with Related Digital.

A multibillion-dollar investment, the largest in Michigan’s history, The Barn is a state-of-the-art data center campus that will deliver thousands of union construction jobs, hundreds of permanent jobs, and long-term economic and community benefits for Saline Township and the state of Michigan. The project is expected to generate billions of dollars in tax revenue, averaging more than $150 million per year for the better part of two decades, benefitting schools, emergency services, and infrastructure projects in Saline Township and throughout Washtenaw County.

In celebrating the rich history of unions in Michigan, The Barn is the first data center campus in the country to be built under a first-in-the-nation project labor agreement executed under the National Maintenance Agreement with 14 affiliated skilled trade unions. It is also the first campus to be built under a memorandum of understanding between OpenAI and North America’s Building Trades Union (NABTU).

Oracle is deeply proud to be part of Michigan’s legacy of innovation, and we are thrilled to partner with Ann Arbor SPARK as a sponsor of a2Tech360. We are honored to be part of this exceptional event with its incredible ecosystem of entrepreneurs, creators and researchers who are all dedicated to shaping the future of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, and the state of Michigan.
