What the source record says
Google purchased approximately 312 acres for $14,055,406 in June 2025 and committed a further $4 million in grants to county initiatives over five years — a land-and-grant figure, not a disclosed facility capex, so investmentUsd is intentionally omitted. Three data center buildings are planned in the Botetourt Center at Greenfield, the only site in the county zoned for data centers. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the Greenfield industrial park near Daleville, not a parcel-confirmed point.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
