What the source record says
Campus on Bolliger Road, West Memphis. Coordinates approximate for the Bolliger Road industrial area. $4B is Phase 1 through 2027; total planned investment is $10B, which would be the largest private capital investment in Arkansas history. Five data center buildings on 920-acre campus footprint within a 1,178-acre site (per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filing). Fixes: (1) removed unsourced 5,000 construction jobs figure — AEDC states only 'thousands'; (2) corrected energy.source from 'solar' to 'grid' — facility draws from Entergy Arkansas; Arkansas Cypress Solar is a companion renewable project; (3) corrected landAcres from 1,200 to 1,178 per Army Corps filing.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
