Conflicts and open questions
- CoreSite's listing still uses future-tense language for this site. Trade press reports it open, and American Tower's own page does not state an opening date.
- The June 2024 groundbreaking date is derived from DatacenterDynamics' undated reference to June of the prior year.
- Under 50 MW.
The full record
