What the source record says
Site at 975 Thornwood Dr SW, Heath OH 43056; 227 acres. Part of Microsoft's $1B Licking County three-campus investment alongside Hebron and New Albany. Coordinates are approximate Heath city centroid; exact Thornwood Dr parcel not pinned. The $1B is Microsoft's three-campus Licking County commitment; no Heath-specific capital-investment figure is published (do not derive by subtraction).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
