What the source record says
Master-planned data center land campus — Tract acquires and entitles land, then delivers it to hyperscale and other data center operators rather than operating the halls itself. Fully entitled as of the September 2025 announcement (annexation, rezoning and development agreement complete). No end tenant, investment figure, job count or construction timeline has been published.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
