notes: >
  Single source (DataCenterDynamics), so confidence medium. Land area
  source states "570+ acres" (at least 570; recorded as 570, floor value).
  investment_usd 600000000 is the site-specific figure originally filed in
  2019; the source also notes this is part of a reported $1.2 billion 2023
  Nebraska spend (program-level, not recorded as a site metric). The project
  was originally filed via shell company "Agate LLC" (2019); Agate LLC is not
  in operators.yml and is not a canonical developer — developer field omitted.
  Status "under construction" confirmed August 2023 per source.
