Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

   Underlying source

Source notes

This is an enterprise data center. The 10-K gives 43,000 sq ft; the 2015 plan described a 31,000 sq ft building in Uniland's CrossPoint Business Park. The 2015 report called it an '$80 million data center construction project', but its itemized costs (about $16M build, $1.3M land, over $16M equipment) total about $33M. No investment figure is recorded because of that unreconciled gap. The same report cites about $6.8M in sales-tax, $2.15M in property-tax and about $165K in mortgage-recording-tax savings. Those figures are not recorded as subsidies because the fetched article does not name the granting agency or confirm final approval. No MW figure is published. No street address was found in a fetched source. Coordinates are the OSM centroid of Crosspoint Parkway, not the building.
