Conflicts and open questions
- Coordinates from a Census geocode of 14684 Industrial Parkway.
- Size conflict: DCD's earlier piece said up to two buildings of up to 500,000 sq ft each; later DCD and the Journal-Tribune give 500,000 sq ft total in two 250,000 sq ft buildings. Used 500,000 total.
- Payment figures conflict: Journal-Tribune subtitle cites about $900,000 a year to schools and $100,000 to the city; AWS/Spectrum describe 'more than $15 million' in direct payments over 15 years; DCD's '$15 million per year' reading appears garbled.
- Rezoning was filed in October 2024 per DCD; approval of the rezoning itself not confirmed in a record.
- The March 10, 2025 council vote date is from Data Center Dynamics; dated March 11, 2025 coverage confirms the year.
