Google does have a campus close to Detroit (Ann Arbor). This is practically on campus for University of Michigan, which is where they do the scanning for Google Books. They employ ~300 people there right now.

There is also a campus they call Google Detroit (it's actually in the suburb of Birmingham). I'm not sure what they do there.

From my understanding (which may be a big outdated now), Birmingham's primary function was to service ad sales to the Detroit Autos.
