What the source record says
125,000 sq ft and 19 MW at full build-out, in the International Technology & Aerospace Park. Landing point for the Google Firmina and Nuvem cables and Meta's Anjana cable. DC BLOX announced an expansion on 2025-10-14 to add capacity for five more subsea cables. Coordinates come from the named OSM feature for the facility itself. Re-checked 2026-09-10 (DC BLOX's own Myrtle Beach facility page, source dated after this record's 2026-08-26 lastUpdated): status unchanged, still operational (with a second facility on the same campus 'in development' per the expansion announcement) — no flip. energy: confirmed absence — no utility name or grid/on-site-generation disclosure found in any source checked. investmentUsd: confirmed absence — neither the 2023 opening announcement nor the Oct 2025 expansion announcement discloses a dollar figure for Myrtle Beach specifically (DC BLOX's disclosed green-loan financing figures apply company-wide/to other campuses, not this site). aiClassification: left unset — CEO framing ('leverage this infrastructure to create an AI-driven future') is generic aspirational language about the company's broader direction, not a statement that this cable-landing-station site itself is AI-dedicated; not enough to classify. jobs: confirmed absence — no jobs figure in any source checked. subsidies: confirmed absence in every press source checked (DC BLOX's own site, the 2023 opening announcement, the Oct 2025 expansion announcement) — no FILOT or incentive agreement mentioned. This is a press-coverage-level absence only; Horry County's council-minutes/ordinance portal and the ITAP authority's own site were not reachable this session (DNS failures on guessed domains), so a stronger county-tier confirmation is unresolved, not ruled out. community: confirmed absence of independent local-reception reporting — a Sept 8 2026 company-wide 'Community Commitment' pledge announcement references Myrtle Beach only via a linked headline, not in its own body text, so it does not count as site-specific community evidence and was not used to set community.status.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
