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.

Source notes
As of 2026-09-09, the status is unchanged: proposed. Metro Council authorised eminent domain on 2026-08-04, DC BLOX sued on 2026-08-11, and as of that check no ruling on its preliminary-injunction request had been reported; two zoning challenges are not heard until at least December 2026. The recorded $700 million investment is the company's estimate as reported by WPLN News (July 2026), that the project will total more than $700 million, so it is a lower bound. As of October 2026, DC BLOX's own project page, which describes a single-story, 69,200 sq ft, 10 MW building, lists capital investment of "$380 Million+" as a project estimate. $23 million is the land purchase price, not the project investment.
DC BLOX says it will pay the full cost of new or existing utility infrastructure
