Conflicts and open questions

  • Investment figures conflict: $1.5B to $1.7B (The Herald, April 7) versus $5 billion (WFMJ, WYTV).
  • Zoning board meeting was 'Thursday night' before WFMJ's April 24 report, likely April 23, 2026.
  • Keel's existing operating bitcoin building could be recorded as the operating part of this same campus.
