What the source record says
Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked the Construction Dive article (2026-09-10) about this $600M, 290,000 sq ft facility (Whiting-Turner as general contractor); it covers only project economics and site-selection rationale ('energy infrastructure, developable land and available workforce'). No community reaction, hearing, or official statement documented in this source -- despite The Dalles being a site with an extensively documented history of Google water-use controversy in past years, none of that appears in this particular article, so it is not reflected here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
