notes: >-
  Sited "near Toronto" in Deuel County, SD; "near" is a proximity reference,
  not a jurisdictional statement, so locality is left unset and county is used.
  Status is cancelled: developer withdrew the proposal after the 2026
  legislative session rejected data-center sales-tax exemptions (withdrawn
  path). Developer is "Applied Digital", which has no operators.yml entry —
  developer field omitted; Applied Digital needs an operators.yml entry.
  capacity_mw 430 and investment_usd 5,000,000,000 are both reported as
  approximate/"proposed"/"roughly" by the single source. Single-source support
  throughout, hence medium confidence.
