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

    Source references: MN-S0002, MN-S0003, MN-S0004

    • No Minnesota certification list, programme report or incentive award document was obtained, so no Minnesota candidate carries an incentive record.
    • The bot wall was not bypassed, by rule; all three mn.gov attempts are recorded as failures.
    • The 2025 statutory changes to the Minnesota exemption, which the Illinois report describes as adding green certifications, increasing water permitting and terminating the electricity exemption, were not checked against a Minnesota source.
  • utility commission large load — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0005, MN-S0006

    • No Minnesota docket document was read, so no docket number, electric service agreement or large-load tariff appears in this packet.
    • No Minnesota candidate carries a utility request megawatt figure.
    • Great River Energy, Dakota Electric and municipal utility filings were not searched.
  • environmental construction permits — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0007, MN-S0008, MN-S0009

    • The air permit applications dashboard is a Tableau view and was not queried, so no Minnesota air permit application number was obtained.
    • No water appropriation permit, NPDES permit or wetland permit was searched, even though the dataset records Minnesota water-permitting changes for data centres.
    • No Minnesota generator fleet is documented anywhere in this packet.
  • municipal planning assessor gis — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0010, MN-S0011, MN-S0012, MN-S0013, MN-S0014, MN-S0015

    • Six of the seven Minnesota municipalities with active data centre cases were unreachable, so the plat, planned unit development, development contract, rezoning and denial records behind five Minnesota lifecycle statuses were never read.
    • No Minnesota county assessor or GIS portal was queried; no parcel identifier appears anywhere in this packet.
    • The Glencoe rezoning the dataset dates to 6 November 2025 falls between the two council meetings the city's index lists, and could not be located.
  • tax abatement development agreements — searched_partial

    Source references:

    • No Minnesota development agreement, tax abatement, tax increment financing instrument or certification was retrieved.
    • Whether the Farmington development contract remains in force after the litigation the dataset mentions is unknown.
  • operator disclosures — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0016

    • No colocation operator page was opened for Minnesota, so the DataBank, Centersquare, Flexential, LightEdge, CENTRA, H5, Lumen, Vaultas and AAIM records rest on the dataset alone.
    • Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Tract location pages were not opened for Minnesota.
    • The session's web search budget was exhausted before Minnesota began, so operator pages could only be reached by guessing URLs or by following links already held.
  • open datasets directories — searched

    Source references: MN-S0001

    • No unlicensed directory was consulted, so no independent count of Minnesota colocation facilities was attempted.
    • Because almost nothing else was reachable, 25 of the 26 Minnesota candidates cite only this one dataset, which is a single point of failure for the whole state packet.
  • historical closures withdrawals names — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0018

    • Every one of these reversals rests on the dataset; no Minnesota city denial, withdrawal letter or council minute was retrieved to confirm any of them.
    • The dataset records that Google abandoned a $600 million Becker project in 2022 but holds no record for it, so that closure is noted and not carried as a candidate.
    • No closed or demolished Minnesota data centre was searched for.
  • news and other discovery — searched_partial

    Source references: MN-S0017

    • The session's web search budget was exhausted before Minnesota, so no keyword news sweep of Minnesota was possible and the Star Tribune, Sun Thisweek and other local coverage the dataset cites was not read.
