What the source record says
Former St. Joe Farm, near Bittersweet Road and Currant Road, Granger IN (St. Joseph County). 939 acres; 5-6 buildings planned; ~1 GW power load estimated by county officials. Microsoft not seeking local tax incentives. Status downgraded from 'under_construction' to 'permitted': WSBT source (cited in original record for the construction claim) explicitly states 'no construction has begun' and no formal site plan submitted; WNDU March 2026 MOU covers pre-development evaluation only. Confidence downgraded to 'reported' pending construction confirmation. Coordinates are approximate Granger unincorporated community area.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
