What the source record says
⚠️ WEAKEST-SOURCED RECORD IN THIS SET — flagged deliberately. The only source successfully fetched in this run is Baxtel, a data-center marketplace aggregator, which states: Childersburg Industrial Park (formerly the Alabama Ordnance Works), 486 acres, "a $6 billion proposed investment", "advanced glycol-based closed-loop cooling", "over 200 permanent positions and approximately 2,000 construction jobs", status "Future facility in planning with land secured", year planned 2029, currently in due-diligence assessment of environmental readiness for the former military site. confidence is therefore "reported", not "confirmed". FIGURES DELIBERATELY OMITTED because no fetched source states them: a 500 MW capacity (asserted by cleanview.co and servercountry.org, neither cited here) and a ~$17 million city land-purchase agreement for the 486 acres (search-summary only). Primary coverage by Inside Climate News (23 Jan 2026, "This Small Alabama Town Was Part of the Manhattan Project...") returned HTTP 403 to both source retrieval and direct retrieval, and the WBHM syndication returned 404, so neither is cited. NEXT STEP for a maintainer: Childersburg City Council minutes should carry the purchase-service agreement for the 486 acres and would upgrade this record to confirmed with a primary document. Coordinates are the Childersburg municipal centroid, NOT the industrial-park parcel — "Childersburg Industrial Park" and "Alabama Ordnance Works" both return empty from Nominatim. Site history: the Alabama Ordnance Works / Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, a WWII-era Manhattan Project-adjacent munitions site, which is why environmental due diligence is the gating step.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
