notes: >
  Facility occupies the former NATO Command and Control Center at the
  decommissioned Brunswick Naval Air Station (Brunswick, Cumberland County,
  ME). Reported operational; a 2024 renovation doubled power capacity and an
  expansion was completed February 2025 (treated as a phase milestone, so
  operational_date is left blank rather than set to the expansion date).
  Single source (DataCenterDynamics) hence medium confidence.
  Operator "FirstLight" needs an operators.yml entry; operator field omitted
  until an id exists.
