notes: >
  ~1,300 acres of undeveloped land acquired on the Oregon side of the
  Columbia River near Boardman; reported as a potential campus of up to
  20 data center buildings. "Up to 20" is an upper-bound projection, not
  a confirmed count, so the buildings metric is left blank and kept in
  notes. Status "announced / land acquired" mapped to announced.
