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

    Source references: NC-S0001

    • No list of qualifying or eligible data centers, certificate numbers or recipient companies was found.
    • County-level economic development announcements were not swept; the web search budget for this session was exhausted before this family could be pursued further.
  • utility commission large load — searched_partial

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

    • NCUC docket portal, recent filings page and portal root all returned HTTP 403; no docket, order, tariff or electric service agreement was read from the commission itself.
    • The Microsoft Person County large-load contract is reported to be filed under seal at NCUC and no capacity is public.
    • No Duke Energy large-load tariff filing or integrated resource plan was read.
  • environmental construction permits — searched

    Source references: NC-S0005, NC-S0006

    • The draft permits, permit reviews, permit applications and community engagement reports referenced by the DEQ notice were not reached; the division page carries no direct link to them and the AccessDEQ portal and permitted facility GIS search were not used.
    • No water withdrawal, stormwater or construction general permit notices were searched for any North Carolina data center.
  • municipal planning assessor gis — searched_partial

    Source references: NC-S0007, NC-S0008, NC-S0009, NC-S0010, NC-S0011, NC-S0012

    • City of Raleigh and City of Statesville websites returned HTTP 403, so no rezoning or site plan case file was read for Radius DC Raleigh I or Compass Statesville.
    • No county record was obtained for the Charlotte, Mecklenburg, Iredell, Stokes, Forsyth, Rowan, Vance, Cumberland, Edgecombe, Halifax, Lee or Person County proposals.
    • No assessor parcel record was retrieved for any candidate other than Meta Forest City.
    • The session's web search budget was exhausted during this state, so county case pages could only be reached by guessing domains.
  • tax abatement development agreements — searched_partial

    Source references: NC-S0013

    • No JDIG award document, county incentive agreement or local tax abatement agreement naming a data center was read.
    • Richmond County's reported local tax breaks for the Amazon campus were not confirmed against a county agreement.
  • operator disclosures — searched

    Source references: NC-S0014, NC-S0015

    • Meta's Forest City info sheet was not retrieved (HTTP 404).
    • Apple, Microsoft, Oracle and the colocation operators' own pages were not opened; those candidates rest on the dataset extract or on county records.
  • open datasets directories — searched

    Source references: NC-S0016

    • No unlicensed directory listing was consulted for North Carolina.
  • historical closures withdrawals names — searched_partial

    Source references: NC-S0017

    • Only one withdrawal account (the Rural Hall planning board recommendation) was fetched directly; the other cancellations rest on the dataset extract.
    • No county or town case file confirming any withdrawal was read.
    • No sweep was made for North Carolina data center closures or demolitions.
  • news and other discovery — searched_partial

    Source references: NC-S0018
