What the source record says
Amazon confirmed the land purchase ($37M per Morrow County property records, confirmed by multiple news sources) but stated development plans are not final. Planning documents submitted to Morrow County describe a 1 GW exascale campus with 20 buildings across 4 million sq ft; Johnson Economics estimated $8B-$12B total investment. Land previously owned by Threemile Canyon Farms dairy. Distinct from Amazon's existing ~800 acres of operating/under-construction OR facilities. Lincoln Chronicle source URL returned 403 on fetch — primary claim supported by DCD source. energy.utility corrected from 'Bonneville Power Administration' (wholesale) to 'PacifiCorp (Pacific Power)' (retail utility). Coordinates are Boardman city centroid; exact site not publicly confirmed. Johnson Economics' economic-impact analysis (Morrow County Planning Commission, Jan 2025) models the full 1 GW campus at roughly $8 billion investment (potential range $7-12 billion), about 6,400 construction FTE over an eight-year build (~800/year) and about 560 operations FTE, assuming an Oregon Strategic Investment Program (SIP) property-tax abatement — modeled projections for a still-proposed campus, not firm commitments.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
