What the source record says
Developer's campus page states verbatim: "A 95 acre development out of a 650 acre lot" with "less than 15% of the site planned for development"; "$6 billion"; two data center buildings plus supporting infrastructure; "2027 First Building Completed"; currently in a "planning, engineering, and community engagement phase"; "up to 1,000 construction workers at peak construction" and "250 staff for operations" at an "average salary of $115,000". landAcres records the 650-acre site; the built footprint is 95 acres. NO CAPACITY RECORDED: the campus page states no MW figure. Secondary coverage attributes 6 GW to Beacon's WHOLE portfolio of six-plus campuses across Alberta, New Brunswick, Tom Green County TX, Kern County CA and Calvert — that is a portfolio figure, not this site's capacity, and is deliberately not recorded. COUNTY AMBIGUITY: Beacon's own page places the hub in Mobile County and that is what is recorded, but Calvert is an unincorporated community straddling Mobile and Washington counties, and the OSM village node used for the coordinate sits on the Washington County side. Verify the county against the parcel before publishing. SUBSIDY: no incentive or abatement is mentioned on the developer's page; Mobile County and Alabama Commerce records were NOT checked in this run, so this is an unchecked gap, not an audited negative. Coordinates are the Calvert community centroid, not the 650-acre parcel.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
