notes: >-
  Land acreage conflict: Wyoming Public Media (announcement-date, local
  primary) reports 960 acres in the High Plains Business Park; DataCenter
  Dynamics reports a 945-acre development. Resolved to 960 (announcement
  source) with the 945 minority claim preserved here; neither is disambiguated
  by an operator/government figure. investment_usd recorded as 800000000 but
  source says "more than $800 million" — treat as a floor. Status signal reads
  "announced/under construction (July 2024)"; resolved to under-construction
  with that ambiguity noted. Most facts rest on a single source (WPM), hence
  medium confidence.
