Conflicts and open questions
- The site is under 100 acres and no power figure was reported, so it is below the tracker's size thresholds.
- Acreage is reported as 90 (Prince William Times) and 91 (DCD). The price is reported as $218 million and, in a later Prince William Times story, $220 million.
- DCD says the site is in the county's Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District and was rezoned for a business park in 2019.
