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.
Reported lifecycle history
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
Status as of 2026-09-09: no change; the record stays listed as proposed. Hamilton County commissioners approved a 35-year lease at $375,000/yr in March 2026, but a lease approval is not a construction permit and the commission capped data storage at 12,000 sq ft of the 142,000 sq ft building. An investment figure is deliberately not recorded: the only published figure is a range ($80-100M renovation estimate), which is not a single reportable value.
