notes: >
  Proposed by Diode Ventures on Harper Road, Cass County, MO ($1.5B).
  Recorded as cancelled: effectively blocked in October 2024 when the
  local board amended zoning to prohibit data centers (path: denied via
  zoning change). Operator/developer Diode Ventures has no operators.yml
  entry, so the operator field is omitted — Diode Ventures needs an
  operators.yml entry. "Harper Road" is a road, not an administrative
  place, so the record is located at county (Cass) level. Single low-
  confidence source (Data Center Watch) — low confidence.
