What the source record says
Status re-check, NO change: independently confirmed 'under_construction' - the Michigan Data Center Tracker (baldorilaw.com/resources/michigan-data-center-tracker, retrieved 2026-09-09) lists 'The Barn' campus in Saline Township as 'Under construction · 2026-04', matching the record. subsidies left empty: no site-specific incentive award was found in any fetched source; Michigan's 2024 statutory data center sales/use tax exemptions may apply but no fetched page ties an award to this site, and the MPSC conditions are ratepayer protections, not subsidies.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
