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
Planned 6th Microsoft hyperscale campus in the WDM area - along Veterans Parkway at Woodland Ave, 'just west of Osmium.' Would be Microsoft's first Madison County site (4th distinct county for Microsoft in the WDM area, after Polk/Dallas/Warren). Widely-reported $210M phase-1 investment / 113 MW / 245,000 sq ft first building figures (businessrecord.com, AOL/Yahoo condensed versions) had not been independently confirmed from a direct read as of August 2026 (businessrecord.com and DCD could not be retrieved) and are not recorded.
