When something is found

This is what a briefing looks like. Every conclusion opens the page it came from.

Sample. Tern Valley Township, as of September 29, 2026

  • Signal found
  • Partial coverage

Records suggest a possible data center proposal.

Limit: Only 2 of 5 kinds of record were checked. Building permits, land records, and utility filings were not checked, so their silence tells you nothing.

What the record says

Selected passage

Harrow Parcel Holdings LLC requests rezoning of 212 acres (parcels 14-0031 and 14-0032) from Agricultural to Industrial. The applicant's narrative states that intended uses may include warehousing, light assembly, and data processing facility1.

1 Why this matters: A listed use names a data processing facility.

In plain words: Rezoning means asking the township to change what the land may be used for.

Tern Valley Township Planning Commission, September 24, 2026

What it may mean
One of the possible uses is a data center, and the rezoning would make that use allowed on the land.
What it does not establish
That a data center is planned. The list names three possible uses and picks none. The record has no site plan, no end user, and no building application. A rezoning is not permission to build.

How it works

  1. We check sources

    Agendas, minutes, and other public records. Each has a named office and a check date.

  2. We tell you plainly

    What the records say, what they do not, and what we did not check.

  3. You see the proof

    Every conclusion opens the passage it came from.

Where we look

FileDigr covers named places only. If you pick a place we do not cover, it says so.

What do you count?ShowHide

To learn what to fix, we count how many people visit, which areas get checked, and how many people sign up. We do not record what you type into the address box.

What happens to my email address?ShowHide

If you sign up we keep your email address and the place you chose, and use them only to send these messages. We will not sell them or share them.

Will it always be free?ShowHide

Not necessarily. FileDigr costs money to run. If that changes, we will tell everyone who signed up before anything changes, and nobody is asked for money without choosing it.

What exactly is an area?ShowHide

A named place with a defined boundary, such as a township. A ZIP code, a city, and a utility area are different things. We show you which one before you sign up.

How often do you check?ShowHide

Each source has its own schedule, shown on the briefing. In this example the two sources are read once a week, so a hearing called on short notice can be missed.

What happens when a source stops updating?ShowHide

The briefing says so and shows the date of the last good check. People signed up for that area are told.
