notes: >-
  Developer Beale Infrastructure (reported tied to AWS) has no operators.yml
  entry — developer/operator fields omitted; Beale Infrastructure needs an
  operators.yml entry. Status resolved to cancelled: Tucson City Council voted
  unanimously (Aug 2025) to reject the development agreement and annexation
  over water/energy, and AWS pulled out (Fox Business, KJZZ). Conflict: the
  KJZZ headline (2025-12-09) implies the project "moves forward" in some form
  despite the rejection and AWS exit — recorded here but not enough to
  override the cancelled resolution. No locality in signals; resolved to Pima
  County per place precedence.
