What the source record says
Google's FOURTH Nebraska site by official count and genuinely distinct from both Papillion (Sarpy Co.) and Omaha (Douglas Co.) -- also DISTINCT from the separate proposed Google/Tenaska gas-plant mega-campus already tracked as google-nebraska-ai-campus-proposed (that one is a ~4-county, still-undeveloped 1,000-3,000MW proposal; this one is Google's confirmed, currently-building third/fourth site in north Lincoln). Google's own Nebraska locations page (fetched) confirms Lincoln as a distinct site, 'development announced in 2023', part of a $1.2B investment announced that year across all three then-existing NE locations. A local TV station (KLKN, fetched) confirms the site is 'currently operational with ongoing construction phases' with roughly 200 on-site personnel, and that Google has committed to work with the city on water infrastructure; the city says it is not currently approving additional data centers beyond this one. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: widely-repeated secondary figures for this project (codename 'Agate', ~580 acres, ~$600M, sited northwest of N. 56th St & I-80) come from outlets that 403'd or paywalled on direct fetch this session (Lincoln Journal Star/tollbit, Nebraska Examiner) -- those specific numbers are NOT independently verified here and are omitted from the structured fields (capacityMw/investmentUsd/landAcres) rather than risk propagating an unverified figure; coordinates are Lincoln-city-center-level only. Recommend a follow-up pass to re-fetch a non-paywalled primary source for the acreage/investment/MW specifics. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked Google's own data center locations page (2026-09-10); it describes community partnerships/workforce programs in generic marketing terms but documents no specific public hearing, resident testimony, or independently-reported local reaction.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
