What the source record says
Status updated to under_construction: grading permit issued December 11, 2025; building permit issued March 19, 2026; City of Gilroy lists project as Under Construction as of July 2026. Site at 8050 Camino Arroyo in east Gilroy along Hwy 101. Full build-out: 438,000 sq ft across 56 acres. Amazon cites a ~$2 billion investment for the Gilroy project (recorded as investmentUsd); its broader Northern California investment of ~$5.1B and ~1,890 jobs since 2009 is regional and not attributable to this site. The 2020 land purchase was $31.3M. Operational job figures conflict and are unconfirmed: the FEIR says employment 'may grow to 50 full-time employees' (a ceiling), the permit application lists 25, and Amazon's promotional materials cite ~90 on-site; the construction workforce is not disclosed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
