Where sources give different figures, each is shown with who gave it, and another source's figure never stands in for the record's own. Entries are added and never overwritten; corrections are listed under What happened.

Jobs once it runs, also reported: 50 jobs, 2026 (The Advocate: To qualify for state tax incentives project must create at least 50 new permanent jobs) .

Tax it would pay each year, also reported: 200,000,000 USD, 2026 (The Advocate: To qualify for state tax incentives project must commit to minimum $200 million capital investment) .

The developer's figure is what the company said; what a permit allows is the ceiling a permit sets; measured means observed. Water is in gallons a day or a year, whichever the source stated; a tax claim given as a range shows both ends, each linked to the source that gave it.

  • Who would use itA lease announcement or a tenant named in a filing.
