Draft source-family roster and gaps
  • economic development incentives — searched_partial

    Source references: ID-S0001, ID-S0002

    • The IPC-E-26-25 application itself is posted only as a TIF image and was not opened.
    • Confidential exhibits (the Brisbie ESA and its contract demand schedule) are not public, so no utility-request MW figure could be recorded.

  • environmental construction permits — searched_partial

    Source references: ID-S0015, ID-S0016

    • The issued P-2022.0030 permit document itself (with generator ratings) was not located; only the public comment notice was read.

    • kunacity.id.gov refused connections, so no Kuna ordinance, case number or minutes were read for either the Meta site or Gemstone.
    • pocatello.gov timed out and www.pocatello.gov refused connections, so the hearing examiner decision and council appeal record were not read.
    • No county assessor or GIS parcel records were queried in Ada, Canyon or Bannock counties.
  • tax abatement development agreements — searched_partial

    Source references: ID-S0023, ID-S0024

    Source references: ID-S0025, ID-S0026, ID-S0027, ID-S0028, ID-S0029

    Source references: ID-S0030, ID-S0031, ID-S0032, ID-S0033, ID-S0034, ID-S0035

    • Directory listings such as Data Center Map and Baxtel were not used.
    • Five tracker leads (ValorC3 Boise 2, ark Boise, FBI Grey Wolf, Deep Atomic INL, Aalo Project Ascension) were not individually examined and so are not candidates.
  • historical closures withdrawals names — searched_partial

    Source references: ID-S0036, ID-S0037

    • The city's written denial decision was not retrievable, so the denial rests on news and an urban renewal agenda.

  • news and other discovery — searched_partial

    • BoiseDev and Data Center Dynamics block automated retrieval (HTTP 403 to fetch and curl), so three relevant articles were not read.
    • A reported second Lex/Portneuf proposal and a Raft River campus discussion could not be verified.
    • The session's web-search budget was exhausted partway through this state, limiting further discovery.
